Mr. Speaker, what seems to be happening in this House is most disquieting.
I believe that millions of Canadians share my very deep concern that certain members opposite are trying to undermine, perhaps even destroy, the reasons and ideas on which this place is built.
The result is that ideas, honest and vigorous exchanges and debate are being stifled by certain members opposite who label their opponents racist, redneck, bigoted and prejudiced.
It is a habit of certain members opposite to stand in this House and hurl insults or to go outside this House and amplify their remarks to the media.
Canadians want to know why the Prime Minister tolerates this behaviour. Does he truly believe that is Liberalism? Does he believe that this is what is called democracy?
