Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech.
I would remind the House that the NDP and Tommy Douglas stood up for fundamental freedoms.
My colleague is right to say that the raids were extremely broad. A lot of people were arrested. So many houses were searched that it was not at all a police operation to find people who had been kidnapped, but a form of political repression of ideas, particularly against artists and intellectuals.
Why is it so difficult for the Liberal Party, the party of rights and freedoms and of the charter, to agree to apologize 50 years later?
