Mr. Speaker, we support the high-speed rail project. I wanted to make that clear to the former minister. That has always been our position.
With respect to the matter before us today, I would like the member opposite to explain to me what is so divisive about our motion. The motion calls for an official apology from the government. No such apology has ever been offered. It calls on the government to acknowledge the collective trauma that the 1969 expropriations caused. It also urges the government not to do that kind of thing again and to ensure that there are proper public consultations, social licence and appropriate compensation, which the government is apparently committed to doing.
I would therefore like the member to explain to me what is so divisive about our motion. Will he vote for or against the motion?
