All new Canadians are concerned, and rightly so, about a government minister stating that they must share the government's political views because they chose Canada and because Canada gave them Canadian citizenship.</p>\n<p>The Prime Minister said essentially the same thing. My question is very clear: Does the Prime Minister, by refusing to dissociate himself from his minister's statement, support the comments made</p>\n<p>by his Minister of Human Resources Development, yes or no? That is what we want to know.</p>",
