Pardon me, but if I understand correctly, it is important to respect officials sometimes, but not all of the time.
Mr. Marcil, you said earlier that what we are doing here is disturbing. Let me simply remind you that this entire disturbance can be attributed to the fact that Hockey Canada made a decision that was unacceptable to Quebeckers. We had to take a stand in order for equality rights to be respected. Unfortunately, some Canadians were shocked, and as a result, a desperate hockey player has had to explain himself. All of this because Hockey Canada was unable, from its offices located in Calgary, to understand how Quebeckers experience hockey, admire its players, and the importance it places on it. If Hockey Canada had understood that the Bell Centre incident that occurred in December 2005 was not a closed issue for sports fans, then to my mind, we would have never appointed Shane Doan as captain. In light of this entire affair, why don't you heed the very lucid suggestion made by Mr. Doan himself and hand the "C" over to somebody else?
