After Question Period yesterday, Conservative Rick Dykstra rose to complain that Gilles Duceppe had referred to a government minister as a liar on “at least four occasions and more like six.” Mr. Duceppe explained that he had only shouted out the word “lies” in reference to something that was being said. This led once more to a fascinating discussion as to the difference between saying someone has lied and saying someone is a liar.
