Mr. Speaker, during question period the member for Medicine Hat referred to both myself and the Minister of Finance and said that we had attended a terrorist dinner or function and that we support terrorists.
We attended a community event.
When he says things like that, he is painting members of the Tamil community as a whole as terrorists.
I attended a community event that was made up of respectable Canadian citizens. I did not attend or have dinner with a group of terrorists.
I take this as an offence and I ask for an apology. I do not support terrorism and neither does my colleague. That is absolutely unacceptable.
