Kevin Lamoureux Liberal
“I disagree with the member. Justice Arbour talked to hundreds of victims directly and thousands through the military before making her recommendation. The Conservatives are ignoring those victims, and they have never questioned that recommendation in the four years it has existed.”
“Mr. Speaker, I fundamentally disagree with the member’s assessment. I think that he undervalues the many discussions that Justice Arbour would have had with victims. We are not talking about a few dozen; we are talking about hundreds, directly, and indirectly through the Canadian Forces, we are talking about thousands. I believe that the Conservative Party has marginalized those victims. There is a reason Justice Arbour came forward with that recommendation. I cannot recall the Conservatives ever asking a question that contradicted the recommendation that Justice Arbour brought forward, and it has been there for four years. Has this member, or any Conservative, asked a question about that?”
