Mr. Speaker, I would like to comment on a couple of things that the member said.
He talked about the importance of the issues that need to be discussed in the House of Commons and what was taking place. I would like to know, exactly what does the member think about democracy?
We have a group of people who are doing what men and women died for on the fields of war. They died so we could have freedom of speech and freedom of expression. In a democratic country we have the right to do this. Does the member dare to stand up and say that democracy is not an important issue when it has been abused so severely?
It is true that a commission was set up to deal with this issue. Unfortunately, the government had a blabbermouth. When he opened up his mouth and started talking about the issue the commission plainly said that jeopardized its investigation. Now we are getting into a legal process. This government and its absolute disregard for democracy is what has caused the problem, not the students. Those members had better recognize that and recognize it now.
