Mr. Speaker, at the beginning of the crisis I said that the Prime Minister was behaving like a statesman.
He is now his old self again. He is very petty. He has few arguments. He is behaving as he always has, like a small-minded person who is incapable of debating substantive issues.
If he did not have these assurances, and this must now be clarified—a legal expert said yesterday that Canada was violating the Geneva conventions—did the Prime Minister not fall short of his international obligations by not behaving like a head of state, but instead like a small-minded politician?
