Kevin Lamoureux Liberal
“The Conservatives are using extreme right-wing conspiracy theories to scare people. They falsely claim the government is telling Canadians what they can watch and what they can say about religious texts.”
“Madam Speaker, for those following the debate, since the start, we have heard from the far right. I mean, it is the extreme right. These people are more right than the Reform Party of the past. Talk about conspiracy theories. Two members are saying the government is trying to tell Canadians what to watch, that they cannot watch this or it is okay to watch that. An hon. member: Thank you for telling people, Kevin. Hon. Kevin Lamoureux: Madam Speaker, I appreciate the compliment from the member opposite. Having said that, it is a fear factor, and no one does it better than today’s Conservative right party. I have been around for 35-plus years as a parliamentarian, and I have never seen a political entity cater to the far right as much as this party has. We have clearly seen a demonstration of that this morning. What a way to start off a morning. The member opposite says the government is telling people they have to be careful and they cannot say certain things regarding the holy scriptures. The Charter of Rights guarantees— Some hon. members: Oh, oh!”
