Mr. Speaker, it is very sad to see what has happened here when an honourable and distinguished member has abandoned his earlier courageous position. I did not hear a clear answer on the last question posed.
It is also said that the backbench would abandon this man's ethics by letting him stand alone in his courageous position.
Is the hon. member prepared to defend or to be loyal to the Prime Minister and the government ahead of his loyalty to Canadians?
