I'd like to add the following after point (a) of Mr. Généreux's amendment:
(b) acknowledges that the data presented by the witnesses in support of their testimony is based on science; (c) recognizes that such behaviour is not worthy of the role of parliamentarian or president of a parliamentary association; (d) demands that Francis Drouin issue a written apology to the witnesses.
I feel it's easy to apologize as the member did, three or four days later. He should apologize in writing.
His behaviour was obviously not worthy of the chair of the Assemblée parlementaire de la Francophonie. The witnesses were completely calm and reasonable. Their testimony was based on statistical data. What happened was absolutely unacceptable. That kind of response is tantamount to bullying.
Simply put, my subamendment is to insert these three points into Mr. Généreux's amendment. The rest of his amendment would stand.
