“I did not call the father scared. I called him brave for coming to speak with his MP about this issue. The member opposite should not insult his parenting or treat this as a joke.”
“Madam Speaker, I hope the member opposite is not impugning a dad who came to listen to his MP and impugning his ability to parent his children, because I think that would be offensive to him. For the record, I do not believe I said he was scared. I said he was brave, and he was brave. He was brave to be there to speak to his MP and tell his MP what he thought about the issue. If that is funny to the member across the way, I think she should consider her opinions.”
