Mr. Speaker, many people do things in their youth they regret later. For example, the new member for Laurier-Sainte-Marie used to belong to the Marxist-Leninist Workers' Communist Party.
When asked, he said that it had lain heavy on his conscience for several years, that he wore it like a wound. Certainly, when people are young, they do things they may regret later. What is important today is to think about Jean-Louis Roux's 50 years of public work against fascism.
Since no one is holding what the hon. member for Laurier-Sainte-Marie did in his youth against him, I hope he will have the same consideration for the lieutenant governor.
