I spoke with him afterward and he told me that it was a mistake. Then I spoke with the Conservative House leader and she informed me that her party would not oppose the motion. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5859193\" data-originallang=\"en\">I learned later that night that the member of Parliament for <a data-HoCid=\"214149\" href=\"/politicians/shaun-chen/\" title=\"Shaun Chen\">Scarborough North</a> had sent an email to stakeholders indicating that the Prime Minister's Office did not oppose the motion.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5859194\" data-originallang=\"en\">With this knowledge and confirmation from the Conservatives that they would also not oppose the motion, I moved that motion again the next day. To my dismay, my motion was blocked again, and this time it was clear it was Liberal members who voted against it.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5859195\" data-originallang=\"en\">My question for the Liberals is this. Why did they vote against this so we could not ensure this commemoration would be done to reinforce the principle of \u201cnever again\u201d?</p>",

J'avais parl\u00e9 avec lui plus tard et il m'avait confi\u00e9 qu'il s'agissait d'une erreur. J'avais ensuite parl\u00e9 avec la leader parlementaire des conservateurs et elle m'avait dit que son parti ne s'opposerait pas \u00e0 la motion. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5859193\" data-originallang=\"en\">Plus tard le m\u00eame soir, j'ai appris que le d\u00e9put\u00e9 de <a data-HoCid=\"214149\" href=\"/politicians/shaun-chen/\" title=\"Shaun Chen\">Scarborough-Nord</a> avait envoy\u00e9 un courriel aux parties int\u00e9ress\u00e9es pour leur dire que le Cabinet du premier ministre ne s'opposait pas \u00e0 la motion. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5859194\" data-originallang=\"en\">Sachant cela et ayant la confirmation des conservateurs qu'ils ne s'opposeraient pas non plus \u00e0 la motion, j'ai de nouveau pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 la motion le lendemain. \u00c0 mon grand d\u00e9sarroi, ma motion a \u00e9t\u00e9 une nouvelle fois rejet\u00e9e et, cette fois, il \u00e9tait \u00e9vident que c'\u00e9tait les d\u00e9put\u00e9s lib\u00e9raux qui s'y \u00e9taient oppos\u00e9s. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5859195\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ma question pour les lib\u00e9raux est la suivante. Pourquoi ont-ils vot\u00e9 contre ma motion qui aurait permis cette comm\u00e9moration afin de souligner notre d\u00e9termination \u00e0 ce que cela n'arrive \u00ab plus jamais \u00bb? </p>"
