It was immediately rabroué by the Prime Minister Dalton McGuinty, its head of party, who declared: " The comments of Mr. McNeely reflect neither the opinion of the government of Ontario nor that of the first ministre." McNeely emitted excuses for the language which it used, but in an telephone interview with the Ottawa Citizen , it defended its comments, affirming that it was so disturbed by the destruction and deaths with the Lebanon which he felt obliged to denounce them.
