Mr. Speaker, is it just a coincidence or a skilfully organized stunt? That is what we find ourselves wondering following the recent run-in the BQ leader had with the Canadian Jewish Congress, and the threats uttered against the Jewish community by Raymond Villeneuve.
In La Tempête , the Mouvement de libération nationale du Québec or MLNQ newspaper, Raymond Villeneuve stated: The B'nai B'rith lobby is now calling for the resignation of Michel Gauthier, the Bloc leader, after he requested that Jewish organizers distance themselves from the actions of activist Howard Galganov.
We pressed the Bloc leader to condemn the MLNQ president's statement, but he only timidly distances himself from this extremist movement. Are we to conclude that the Bloc and Raymond Villeneuve's movement have more in common than the Bloc leader would have us believe?
