Okay. I have the feeling that I am going to make some enemies here.
As Sylvie Boucher—and I have to thank the Fédération des femmes du Québec—I am going to vote against the motion after having thought about it for the last two weeks. The organizers have a controversial approach. We know what they said about the war in Afghanistan and the “cannon fodder”.
My daughters showed me the link to a video on YouTube. If you have not seen it, it is called Capsule #4. It was posted by the Fédération des femmes du Québec. It is worth taking a look.
This is out of respect for the mothers of those in the military. We all know that, when our children decide on a path in life, we do not always agree with their choices. But we owe those women our respect, and I am going to vote against the motion for all those reasons.
The actions in the last two weeks show me that this event set out to promote radical political activism and I am not a radical woman, not in the least. So, for those reasons, I am going to vote against Ms. Demers' motion.
