Mr. MacKinnon, we deplore the whole situation that we went through in the House of Commons. It's something parliamentarians should never experience in their political career. When you get up in the morning, you hope not to have to go through anything like that. It's hard to take pride in our country when things like that happen, and we're not proud about what's going on in the world today, as you pointed out so clearly.
However, some people want to take advantage of the situation, and that's lamentable. Some comments about our government's poor handling of communications are being heard from as far away as Vladimir Putin, in Russia.
When an incident like this is used for political purposes, what are the potential international impacts?
