Mr. Speaker, as much as I feel it is my place to speak in the House, I respect your authority.
The quintessential symbol of a nation is its flag and the Liberal leader referred to our flag as “a pale imitation of a beer label”. Canadians from coast to coast are proud of that flag. Canadians around the world serve with that flag on their shoulder. I am proud of that symbol. I am proud of this nation that Canadians have built.
Our flag is no “pale imitation of a beer label”. It is the symbol of a strong and proud nation.
