Mr. Speaker, clearly my colleague has not read the motion and did not listen to my speech. I was very clear that what Hamas did on October 7 is appalling. It is written into our motion what actions we are calling for with regard to Hamas. I spoke very clearly about that, so if she would like me to explain the motion to her again, perhaps the Speaker could read it for her again. However, because she did ask me that, I just want to finish off with a poem from Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish, who wrote The War Will End: The war will endThe leaders will shake handsThe old woman will keep waiting for her martyred sonThat girl will wait for her beloved husbandAnd those children will wait for their heroic fatherI don't know who sold our homelandBut I saw who paid the price.The War Will End
