Madam Speaker, on June 14, the finance minister, during testimony before the statutory committee struck to investigate the declaration of the Emergencies Act, stated her concern for the diminished standing of Canada's international reputation. Canada continues to suffer irreparable harm to our international reputation as a result of invoking the Emergencies Act in the absence of any clear and compelling reason to do so.
It gives me no comfort to report to Canadians the Prime Minister's nickname in the European capitals he hides in these days is the “Gropenführer”, which is an obvious reference to the Kokanee grope scandal and how the Prime Minister mistreats female journalists and dismisses them because they are women.
Canada risks surrendering our nationhood as we become more and more isolated from those who can help us most when we need it.
