Mr. Speaker, in the remarks he just made, the member for Wentworth—Burlington referred to oral question period.
From my seat, I noticed two groups of grade-12 students in the gallery behind you, Mr. Speaker. These students are likely to vote for the first time in the next provincial or federal election.
The member said time was being wasted and he was ashamed. I think he is completely confused. He is probably not ashamed to see students in this place, but more likely ashamed of his Prime Minister's lack of respect for students.
First of all, he ridiculed them by saying that pepper is something he puts on his plate, when we have seen time and time again on television how pepper was used. That was holding up students to ridicule.
Yesterday, during oral question period, the same Prime Minister said students were better off being pepper-sprayed than beaten on the head with baseball bats.
What kind of Prime Minister is this? Is the member ashamed of the opposition or ashamed of his Prime Minister and his government?
