Mr. Speaker, the member just said that Robert Bourassa was defeated. Yes, he was defeated, but I want to point out that that was in 1976. In 1973, he was re-elected by a strong majority, though we must also recognize that the Parti Québécois, which got 23% of the vote in 1970, got 30% of the vote in 1973. We therefore cannot say that that had a political impact on the discussion.
However, the question I want to ask the member is this: How is it that, this morning, during the 20 minutes his leader had to talk about October 1970, he never mentioned the assassination of Pierre Laporte or the kidnapping of James Richard Cross? He never spoke about the threats issued by the FLQ throughout that time in October. He never spoke about the 200 terrorist attacks perpetrated by the FLQ that killed 10 people.
How could he have forgotten to mention those things when his debate today is about October 1970?
