Allow them to let us hear what they have to say on a motion like this so that we would all be in a better position. As opposed to trying to make a political, partisan statement, we should have depoliticized a motion of this nature, given it is at the heart of Canadian values when it comes to international relations. I think we would have been better served.</p>",

Donnons-lui l'occasion de nous dire ce qu'il pense d'une telle motion afin que nous soyons tous en meilleure posture. Au lieu de tenter de faire une d\u00e9claration politique partisane, nous aurions d\u00fb d\u00e9politiser une motion de cette nature, \u00e9tant donn\u00e9 qu'elle est au c\u0153ur des valeurs canadiennes en mati\u00e8re de relations internationales.
