Mr. Speaker, it is important to remember that it was not 11 days. It was just one day.
That is exactly how long it took for Canada to react, to express its solidarity with the people of France. That is what I did the next day by expressing, on behalf of all Canadians, the horror that we felt towards the attacks and by stating that we would work together to fight terror and intolerance.
The Prime Minister of Canada made it clear that Canada will always be one of the great defenders of freedom of expression around the world.
