Mr. Speaker, I thank my Conservative colleague for standing in solidarity with me and for the opportunity to elaborate a little bit more.
Like I said, I have been called worse by much better. People make personal attacks in this place because they cannot defend the indefensible. It is indefensible to try to protect a foreign national who boasts of foreign interference when the country is in the grips of trying to understand the full scope of foreign interference in this country. It is indefensible that citizenship was granted to an ISIS terrorist, and it is indefensible at a time when Canadians need to be healed and are hurting that doctors are being prevented from practising in our country and building a life here when we need them more than ever.
Those actions are indefensible, and what that minister did disgraced not only himself but also his office as a minister of the Crown. I think it was a disgrace to everyone in this place.
