Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the hon. member for her speech tonight and for her comments at the rally in support of the Maidan protesters and martyrs yesterday in Toronto. I had the opportunity to participate with her.
She mentioned the NDP critic for foreign affairs earlier and some of the comments he has made. I understand that when Canada's Minister of Foreign Affairs was in Kiev in early December, he went to Maidan and stood in solidarity with those protestors. I understand that the member for Ottawa Centre said, “Joining a protest signals that you are on one side”. He criticized the minister for doing that.
I wonder if the member could explain exactly what her colleague meant by those comments.
