Mr. Speaker, this morning at the aboriginal affairs committee we heard very moving testimony from survivors of Indian residential schools. This was a situation where the government took children from their parents knowing better than their parents how to raise them. The government put the children in schools and did not allow their parents to have any say in how they were raised, and we wonder why there was a tragedy.
We see the members of the NDP, members of the sanctimonious, holier than thou party standing up and saying, “Let the government take our children away again. Government knows best. Government knows how to raise our children better than we do ourselves”. They say that is a great idea.
We have seen what happened already with this. They are completely insensitive comments from the NDP. I cannot believe it.
