Mr. Speaker, this morning the newspapers reported on comments made by the Deputy Prime Minister about our party and the Mohawks.
As Bloc Quebecois members, duly elected by the people of Quebec and duly recognized as the Official Opposition, we
strongly object to the absolutely blasphemous comments made yesterday by the Deputy Prime Minister.
How can the Deputy Prime Minister suggest that "the Mohawks are right to be offended by the Bloc's comments", when we have always made a clear distinction between certain warriors involved in smuggling and the other Mohawks who live in a climate of terror created by the warriors.
Who is the real culprit here: the Deputy Prime Minister or Bloc members who are just doing their job by representing their constituents?
