Canadian Heritage committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair Lawrence.

Canadian Heritage committee  Madam Chair—

Canadian Heritage committee  What?

Canadian Heritage committee  What?

Canadian Heritage committee  I have a point of order.

Canadian Heritage committee  I think the member is misrepresenting me. I spoke for probably a good 10 minutes and my point about the leader—

Canadian Heritage committee  I don't know who was speaking, but that was a very loud outburst. I could almost hear it here in Don Valley East without my headset on. I was saying that what the member just said misrepresents me. I spoke about the issue about extreme right-wing hate in this country. I mentioned the member for probably one minute out of several.

Canadian Heritage committee  No.

Canadian Heritage committee  Can I speak to it, Madam Chair?

Canadian Heritage committee  Thank you. I find Mr. Waugh a gentleman; I find him a very good parliamentarian. The point I was making is that this is a perfect example of the delay tactics that are being used. If there was any offence to Mr. Waugh, I do apologize because I actually find him to be a very kind and very dignified politician.

Canadian Heritage committee  Yes. My point is this: We have a leader of the official opposition. This is a person who holds a lot of influence and power in the House of Commons, but also a lot of influence across this country. To go into a camp of far right extremists, to march with them, to shake hands with them, to have pictures, and to be called out on these exchanges and not retract his actions, not speak to those issues, is exactly what the problem is when it comes to how we combat extremism in this country.

Canadian Heritage committee  If you can you imagine, this group has.... I'll just use Mr. Lawrence's terms. I believe he said that the group has “threatened his wife”. Could you imagine this type of threat made to a politician's spouse? Yet, for some reason, Mr. Poilievre goes into this camp, where clearly it was identified that there were folks who were connected to this extreme group, yet the Leader of the Opposition has not apologized for or spoken to this issue.

Canadian Heritage committee  This is exactly what the Conservatives will do. This is a great example right now. Just for people watching—

Canadian Heritage committee  It's not a point of order, Madam Chair. If he wants to—

Canadian Heritage committee  That's not a point of order. They're interrupting me again.
