Mr. Speaker, while Canada was experiencing the worst diplomatic crisis in its history, what did the Liberal Prime Minister have to offer? Five days of silence, five days in hiding, five days in which he did not even pick up the phone to call President Zelenskyy or the outraged communities, five days in which the world's anger at the inexcusable act that occurred here grew to the point where Canada lost all credibility.
Why did it take the member for Papineau five days to act like a prime minister, to defend our reputation, our communities and our country?
