Mr. Speaker, I am sure this summer the member opposite will hear from his constituents. Many of the groups who came to our committee to express disappointment with the government's support services were actually from the community in his riding, so I encourage him to reach out to them.
However, he raised the issue of revisionist history, so I have some more recent history I would like to bring up for him. Late last week in the House he said, “Mr. Speaker, the members opposite seem to think that if they say the word genocide three times, spin around in a circle, and click their heels, suddenly something stops.”
He is talking about revisionist history, but I think this comment was one of the most shameful and disgusting comments I have heard in the House of Commons in the last five years. I hope at some point if he has children, or if there are people looking at Hansard in years to come, that he stands and apologizes for that comment so that future generations of his or his constituents will not have to revise history for him.
