Mr. Speaker, the 497 arrests during the October crisis were not just immoral and violent, but also illegal.
That is what the IRAI demonstrated in a study published this morning. After the order that enacted the measures written in English only, the legislation would be illegal and in violation of at least 12 articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. In 1970, what we saw were not arrests so much as abductions and confinements.
Why refuse to apologize for such dangerous abuse?
