Mr. Speaker, the young people sitting on the street peacefully singing were no threat to any leader inside that wall.
In a democracy, people have the right to peacefully demonstrate their profound disagreement with the FTAA. These same demonstrators were attacked outside the wall in Quebec City with gas and plastic bullets.
I ask the solicitor general once again whether he finds it acceptable to have the RCMP attack peaceful demonstrators with plastic bullets and tear gas? Is this really democracy?
