Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech.

I find it rather sad today that people in the House are trying to make political hay by pointing fingers at certain political parties.

We know that recognition by the House of Commons, by Parliament, is important. I would like to hear what my colleague has to say about that. Why is it important today to pass a motion and to have the House of Commons recognize this incident?
