Mr. Speaker, my question is for the acting Prime Minister. Now on to another scandal, because it is also a scandal for women.
All Canadians and Quebecers are going to look a little silly this week-end. The Minister of Immigration's stubbornness will prevent Ms. Hafsa Zinaï Koudil, a filmmaker of Algerian origin, from participating in the Montreal festival "Vues d'Afrique", which will feature her movie "Le Démon au féminin" decrying the violent way religious fundamentalists in Algeria treat women.
How can the acting Prime Minister justify the Minister of Immigration's obstinate refusal to grant a visitor's visa to filmmaker Koudil?
