Mr. Speaker, this is another very clear display of the Conservative Party's contempt not only for Quebeckers, but also for democracy. I have spent my entire political career fighting for federalism in Quebec and for a united Canada, quite often against the Bloc Québécois. However, I have always had a deep respect for anyone who runs for office to serve their community and to be elected to the House of Commons. The Conservatives' contempt for democracy should be worrisome to Quebeckers and to all Canadians.

Madam Speaker, something needs to be cleared up here. The member is suggesting that somehow young people should not be involved in politics. The Leader of the Opposition is proud to be involved, in this case, in Conservative politics. That member is suggesting, somehow, that young people do not have a role to play in our democracy. That is certainly disgraceful and something that the old NDP, which used to have principles, would have resoundingly rejected. When is the NDP going to stand up for the namesake of its party and actually defend democracy, as opposed to simply being lackeys for the Liberals and supporting their corruption?
