We think that is important. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1725553\" data-originallang=\"en\">The member opposite talks about darkness, but I will talk about the darkness that members of the Canadian armed forces remember, the decade of darkness of the Liberals' time in power.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1725554\" data-originallang=\"en\">I know the member for <a data-HoCid=\"128246\" href=\"/politicians/bob-rae/\" title=\"Bob Rae\">Toronto Centre</a>. I know he would believe it is wrong to raise money on the backs of our men and women in uniform by maligning Canada. I would call on him to match the statements by the member for <a data-HoCid=\"128741\" href=\"/politicians/ujjal-dosanjh/\" title=\"Ujjal Dosanjh\">Vancouver South</a> and stand in this place and call those types of shameless fundraising tactics wrong for what they are.</p>",

Nous croyons que cela est important.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1725553\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 d'en face a parl\u00e9 de noirceur. Moi aussi je vais parler de noirceur, celle dont les membres des Forces canadiennes se souviennent, soit la d\u00e9cennie de noirceur qu'ils ont v\u00e9cue sous le r\u00e8gne des lib\u00e9raux.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1725554\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je connais le d\u00e9put\u00e9 de <a data-HoCid=\"128246\" href=\"/politicians/bob-rae/\" title=\"Bob Rae\">Toronto-Centre</a>. Je sais qu'il juge inacceptable le fait de recueillir des fonds au d\u00e9triment de nos courageux militaires en diffamant le Canada. Je l'invite \u00e0 appuyer les d\u00e9clarations du d\u00e9put\u00e9 de <a data-HoCid=\"128741\" href=\"/politicians/ujjal-dosanjh/\" title=\"Ujjal Dosanjh\">Vancouver-Sud</a> et \u00e0 d\u00e9noncer \u00e0 la Chambre ces tactiques de financement des plus honteuses. </p>"
