Mr. Speaker, my comment is somewhat along the same lines.
When we debated a motion six years ago on an apology for the victims of the October crisis, we were told that it belonged to the past. A few weeks ago, when we were talking about the Prime Minister's speech on the Plains of Abraham, we were told that we were living in the past and that what matters is jobs, the economy, public services, etc. However, they are the ones who chose to make that historic speech, by the way. I am just saying. In other words, they did it, but we were not supposed to blame them for what they said.
My colleague was a lawyer in her former life. When she practised law, when victims came to her about something that happened to them, did she just tell them that the harm they had suffered was in the past? Did she tell them that they had to move on with their lives?
