Mr. Chair, last week was admittedly a very difficult week for me in the House. There was Bill C-302, which on the surface appeared to be a bill that talked about the redress to Italian Canadians for their being classified as enemy aliens by a Liberal government in World War II. I was so disappointed. I voted against this bill, and as I mentioned in my remarks, one of the reasons I voted against the bill was that I believe it sought to divide the Italian-Canadian community, not to bring it together. I don't believe it focused on all the good things Italian Canadians have accomplished in their time in Canada.
I noted in my speech that there were five Liberal administrations, and at no time was redress ever contemplated. And one of the things that really solidified my belief in Conservative ideology was after the then-Conservative Prime Minister in 1991, I believe, made that apology to Italian Canadians.
I wonder if you might comment on how our approach to this issue is different--and, I believe, superior.
