    "content": "As soon as I rose from the Chair, the Minister actually showed up in my office and indicated to me that he had struggled and made every effort to be in the House that afternoon, but unfortunately, he was not able due to circumstances wholly beyond his control. I understood those circumstances and I directed that the Minister puts that in writing, which he has done this afternoon. I have received a letter from him which I am looking at as I speak to the House. Hon. Members, I am satisfied that he has given a reasonable account for his failure to be in the House that afternoon. In any event, which is a major factor that goes to the benefit of him, he tried everything possible to be in the House and, in fact, showed up hardly 30 minutes after I had imposed the sanctions. In the circumstances, therefore, I lift the sanctions and allow him to be in the House to continue to be in the precincts of Parliament and to use his office because he has adequately acquitted himself of the antecedent that he was guilty of."
