Mr. Speaker, the problem is that the Conservatives created those problems.
The government dumped the idea of a democracy promotion institute that they had announced in the Speech from the Throne in 2008. Now they are killing Rights and Democracy, and they want to cut DFAIT programming under the international assistance envelope, which is often used to promote democracy.
The government speaks a lot about democracy, but it does not seem to want to walk the talk. What does it have against democracy?
