Syria

Omar Alghabra sought unanimous consent for a motion welcoming the end of the Assad regime, affirming Canada's solidarity with the Syrian people, calling on the government to help advance efforts for a democratic Syria, and calling on the transition government to reject extremism and support an inclusive government; the motion was adopted. Several other unanimous consent motions were blocked, and the sitting was marked by a notable incident in which Scott Reid (Lanark—Frontenac—Kingston) admitted to making an obscene gesture directed at Mark Gerretsen (Kingston and the Islands), then withdrew and apologized to the House.

Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. The member for Lanark—Frontenac—Kingston, in a red-faced fashion, clearly flipped the bird over to this side, which is another way of saying gave the finger. That is highly unparliamentary and I would ask him to uncategorically withdraw the finger. It is not appropriate. He should apologize to all parliamentarians.

Translation: Monsieur le Président, j'invoque le Règlement. Le député de Lanark—Frontenac—Kingston, dans un élan de colère, a clairement fait un doigt d'honneur en direction de ce côté-ci de la Chambre. C'est évidemment un comportement non parlementaire, et je lui demanderais de retirer son geste de façon catégorique. Ce n'est pas approprié. Il devrait présenter des excuses à tous les parlementaires.

Mr. Speaker, my point of order was with respect to the member for Lanark—Frontenac—Kingston, who, in a very angered, red-faced manner, flipped the bird to the government. That is highly inappropriate. The member knows that and he should uncategorically apologize for the manner in which he expressed himself. That is what we are asking him to do.

Translation: Monsieur le Président, mon rappel au Règlement vise à attirer votre attention sur le fait que le député de Lanark—Frontenac—Kingston, a, en montrant très clairement sa furie et sa colère, fait un doigt d'honneur de ce côté-ci de la Chambre. C'est tout à fait inapproprié. Le député le sait pertinemment et il devrait présenter sans hésiter des excuses pour la manière dont il s'est comporté. C'est ce que nous lui demandons de faire.

Canadian Wheat Board

Why is the government destroying the Canadian Wheat Board and why will prairie farmers not be allowed a plebiscite vote?

Source text

Mr. Speaker, skip the quote and have the plebiscite. That is what the farmers in the Prairies want to see. The government has demonstrated that it does not care what the prairie farmer has to say, as the Prime Minister himself has decided to get rid of the Canadian Wheat Board. At what cost? Producer car-loading rights will be destroyed, the Port of Churchill will be devastated, hundreds of good-quality jobs will be lost in Winnipeg. Why is the government destroying the Canadian Wheat Board and tell us why the farmers will not be allowed to have a vote? Why no plebiscite for prairie farmers?

Translation: Monsieur le Président, laissons faire ce qu'en disent les autres et tenons plutôt un plébiscite. C'est ce que veulent les agriculteurs des Prairies. Le gouvernement a fait la preuve qu’il n’a rien à faire des opinions des agriculteurs des Prairies, puisque le premier ministre a lui-même décidé de se débarrasser de la Commission canadienne du blé. À quel coût? Les droits des producteurs relatifs aux chargements n’existeront plus, le port de Churchill sera anéanti et des centaines de bons emplois disparaîtront à Winnipeg. Pourquoi le gouvernement détruit-il la Commission canadienne du blé en nous disant que les agriculteurs n’auront pas le droit de voter sur la question? Pourquoi n’y aura-t-il pas de plébiscite pour les agriculteurs des Prairies?
