Okay.
Mr. Fadden repeatedly singled out China in his comments. This is a quote from him:They're funding Confucius institutes in most of the campuses across Canada. They fund them. They're sort of managed by people who are operating out of the embassy or consulates. Nobody knows that the Chinese authorities are involved. They organize demonstrations against... they have organized demonstrations against the Canadian government in respect to some of our policies concerning China. They've organized demonstrations to deal with what are called the five poisons: Taiwan, Falun Gong, and others.
These comments were aired the day before President Hu arrived in Canada. The effect of these comments specifying China was to smear every single Chinese Canadian by questioning their loyalty to Canada. This is what they're telling me in Vancouver.
I'm asking you whether you acknowledge that there was pain felt by the Chinese Canadian community in this country and whether you agree that an apology to those people for questioning their loyalty is in order.
