Thank you for respecting my hand going up.
I don't use 50-cent words to describe people or tear people down. The member opposite talked about silliness and used a variety of other words that are absolutely, categorically false. In fact, the motion on the table would have the survivors here.
What we're seeing right now is an example of how the Conservative Party of Canada, which used to be conservative, is now cynical and conspiratorial; its members are blending things together to suit their narrative. How dare the member opposite say that we don't care about survivors? That doesn't wash with Canadians. That doesn't wash with people from coast to coast. We have a plan on the table that we think is a pretty good motion, but we played a game today.
My hand was clearly up, and we played a game. That is the seriousness you have put into this. We have a motion on the table. You could have respected that. You could have talked it out. You could have had a very good conversation about it, but right at this moment today, on this side of the table, we have a lot to say. I hope that, as we listen to you folks—and you care about survivors.... To come out and say that is just greasy. It is bush league. It is out of the handbook that you guys have to say, in your PowerPoint presentations on committee work, “Own the Liberals.”
That doesn't help anybody. What a shameful act we see today.
