Mr. Speaker, it is a pleasure to see the Leader of the Opposition grandstanding on this very important human rights issue.
I asked on three previous occasions if members of the Bloc Quebecois would undertake to write to their former leader, the premier of Quebec, Lucien Bouchard, and ask him to replace the monument which was reneged on by the mayor of Montreal after it was promised to the Armenian people and after he received their votes.
Would he write a letter to the premier of Quebec, since he is so anxious to help build bridges between the Parti Quebecois, the Bloc Quebecois and minorities, ethnics and those who have the money? Would he undertake in this House on behalf of his party to ask the premier of Quebec to build a monument in Quebec City or Montreal in memory of the 1.5 million Armenians who died in the first genocide of this century?
