Mr. Speaker, now it is someone else's fault. What a tragedy. The President of the United States attended.
This one thoughtless act has the potential to undo a lot of hard won diplomatic work. The Prime Minister had a special obligation to Jordan today.
Canada is the chair of the United Nations Security Council. We are trying to influence the peace progress greatly.
I would like the minister to stand and say what message the Prime Minister is sending to the rest of the world by simply refusing to show up at the funeral today.
