Mr. Speaker, I listened to the words of the hon. Reform member. She delivered a very passionate message to Canadians. However, I would suggest that it is not an accurate picture of what this debate is about.
I ask her honestly and straightforwardly, how she can make that monumental mental leap to suggest that having a little flag on the desks is somehow going to bar our Canadian athletes from walking in here as they have in the past and having a spontaneous rendition of our national anthem.
That is not the issue at all. That is a blatantly misleading statement.
