Mr. Speaker, I regret to inform this place that the senior Liberal spokesman for veterans affairs did the unthinkable at committee on Tuesday. Members from across the political spectrum know that the member for Scarborough—Agincourt will stoop low to play cheap partisan games. As a veteran, I condemn his behaviour.
His games on Tuesday, however, backfired, and he indirectly insulted a veteran who was appearing at the Standing Committee on Veterans Affairs. This member's partisan games must stop, particularly when they insult or demean witnesses appearing at a parliamentary committee.
I call on the member for Scarborough—Agincourt to apologize to the witnesses who appeared on Tuesday. Anything less will demonstrate that the member is simply unfit for the role he has been assigned, and I would urge his leadership to re-evaluate his position.
