Mr. Speaker, on Tuesday in this Chamber the member for Lisgar-Marquette said: "If we want to look at what homosexuality and permissiveness have done to some countries let us look at Africa and the problems it has run into". He went on to relate the civil war in Liberia to homosexuality and permissiveness.
What basis does he have for these statements? What proof is there that the troubles in Liberia are related to homosexuality?
The situation in Liberia is tragic. Many innocent people are losing their lives. Families are being literally destroyed. Children are being killed. It is an issue that all Canadians deplore and I am sure members opposite do also. To relate it to a permissive attitude
toward homosexuality is an insult to the suffering of the people of Liberia and it is an insult to the intelligence of Canadians.
The people of Lisgar-Marquette deserve better from that party-
