Mr. Speaker, that is a pathetic evasion.
When the member from Brampton visited Baghdad to express her admiration for Saddam's regime, she said that she did so with the Prime Minister's approval. When a Liberal member expressed her hatred for Americans, she said that the Prime Minister had not reprimanded her. The energy minister attacked the U.S. president and he still has not apologized.
Now the Alliance has put forward a motion expressing regret for these anti-American slurs but the Liberals will not support it.
Why is it that for the Liberals, good foreign relations means never having to say you're sorry?
