MR. CLARRIE MACKINNON: You know in the past few months the Leader of the Liberal Party has threatened to kill more than 10,000 jobs for families in Digby, Truro, Cape Breton, Pictou, Halifax, Dartmouth, Port Hawkesbury, and Shelburne, to name a few.

MADAM SPEAKER: Order, please. I just want to remind the member that the use of the terminology "killing" something in the House of Assembly has been ruled out of order and unparliamentary. I would ask him to retract it, perhaps rephrase his comments.

MS. DIANA WHALEN: Now, Mr. Speaker, we have just been regaled by a very passionate outburst by the member for Truro-Bible Hill - heartfelt and passionate, she believes. She has drunk the Kool-Aid, that's all there is to it. She believes it, she's been getting ready.

MR. SPEAKER: Order, please. That phrase, "drunk the Kool-Aid" is unparliamentary. I would ask the honourable member to retract that, please.

MS. WHALEN: I have just a few minutes to debunk this whole thing so I take that back right now, Mr. Speaker.
