Madam Speaker, let me read again, for the benefit of the opposition member, the amendment that we tabled in this House regarding the motion before us. It says: "the Armenian tragedy which claimed some 1.5 million lives". There was never any question of not recognizing this massacre. This government never said that it did not recognize this tragedy.
As to whether the province of Quebec lives in democracy, I remind the opposition member that Canada is known as the most democratic, tolerant and open country in the world.
If we currently have in the House of Commons the opposition that we know, it is because we recognize and accept our differences. We are known as a government that fights for human rights everywhere in the world. Our government has always tried to protect those in the world who could not protect themselves. Again, we always recognized that 1.5 million Armenians lost their lives.
