“The member should not lecture me about harassment when ministers in his party have been found guilty of it. He should also be careful about praising Louise Arbour, because respected legal experts have questioned her judgment.”
“Mr. Speaker, it is very hard to listen to this member talk about harassment when he sits with ministers who have been not only accused but also found guilty of harassment. That is disgraceful. I do not like to be lectured by a member of a party whose ministers have been found guilty of harassment. I will mention a quote: “Arbour’s knowledge of international law is as questionable as her understanding of morality”. That is a direct quote from Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz, a well-regarded international jurist. He said this in 2006. The member should think about who he is referring to as an example.”
