Mr. Speaker, the opposition parties are total cowards.
Before Easter, they did everything they could to undermine the credibility of the Prime Minister in the Middle East. This week, now that he is back, there is barely a squeak out of them.
The Bloc Quebecois feigned concern for Canada's reputation. Yet now that they have the Prime Minister right in front of them, how many questions have there been about his mission? Zero, nada, nil. What a fine example of courage.
With all their attacks while the Prime Minister was in the Middle East, how strange it is that the opposition has not even bothered to ask a single question directly to him about his trip. For example, members opposite, who were so eager to criticize the Prime Minister, were not so eager this week when he was sitting 10 feet across from them.
What does this show? It shows that when it comes down to it, the opposition is all talk and no action.
