The Committee explained it did not consider expulsion as a recommended sanction against the MP because he rendered an apology for his remark.

“The Committee noted the apology rendered by the member and therefore did not consider as a sanction to be imposed. The Committee was however in favor of either a reprimand or a suspension.
