Yes, Mr. Speaker. The member for Calgary Southeast said: "The member for Winnipeg North suggested that the foundation", referring to the Canadian Race Relations Foundation, "should not exist because the responsibility for the program should be accomplished elsewhere".
For the record of the House I would like to state that on May 29, 1990, to which the member was referring, I stated on page 12020 of Hansard with reference to the Canadian Race Relations Foundation:
I support this bill, which is to contribute to the elimination of racism and all forms of racial discrimination in Canadian society.
On the following page I said again:
I support this Canadian Race Relations Foundation based on the preamble that we will support and reaffirm our support for the international convention on the elimination of all forms of racial discrimination; that we will henceforth reaffirm our belief and support in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms; that the Canadian Multiculturalism Act would assume greater and greater meaning.
The record speaks for itself. What the member for Calgary Southeast did was not only take my statement out of context but misrepresented my statements. Therefore to me it was a dishonourable thing.
