Mr. Speaker, that is not what the hon. member said in his letter to that particular constituent.
In April 2005, the Prime Minister said at the time, following a successful motion on Air-India, that the then prime minister had a moral responsibility to respect the will of the House and, days later, he said that it was disturbing from a democratic standpoint that the government would not listen to the will of the House.
This House adopted the NDP veterans first motion yesterday but the government refuses to act. Which is it going to be? Is the Prime Minister ducking his moral responsibility or would he prefer to characterize his own actions as disturbing?
