Altemeyer rose in question period on Thursday afternoon and denied the accusation, stating he had actually said, "Take a pass on it." Draw your own conclusion, NDP house leader saysSquires said Thursday morning that her rights as a parliamentarian had been breached and demanded an apology. After question period, NDP House leader Jim Maloway told reporters he thought the recording showed Squires was incorrect, and said he wanted an apology from her, instead of the other way around. Bad behaviourThe accusation comes on the heels of an incident last week, when Progressive Conservative MLA Sarah Guillemard said three NDP members — including Altemeyer — singled out female PC MLAs and yelled "shame."
