It was with amazement and then horror that I saw the ten Quebec Conservative MPs remain silent in the face of the possible cancellation of the right to abortion in our neighbors to the south.
declared the elected Liberal of Pontiac, Sophie Chatel, during the question period.
His intervention immediately triggered cries of protest from Conservative MPs. This is completely wrong!
, It will make the lies!
and other messages of denunciation rocketed.
The hullabaloo only got worse when Prime Minister Justin Trudeau rose to respond to MP Chatel he shared his feelings
and to lament that the Conservatives avoid to address the issues that really matter to women and frankly to all Canadians
.
Shame on Quebecers!
he launched, pointing in the direction of the Conservative benches.
As soon as question period ended, the Conservatives and the Bloc demanded an apology. Bloc Québécois parliamentary leader Alain Therrien criticized Mr. Trudeau for having addressed his remarks to all Quebecers rather than to those who sit in the official opposition.
The Prime Minister apologized and clarified that his message was aimed only at Conservative MPs from Quebec. As for the apologies demanded by the Conservatives, they have remained a dead letter.
Gérard Deltell argued that Ms. Chatel had made false remarks since several deputies from the Belle Province spoke out in defense of the right to abortion on social networks or in comments made publicly.

We all know the parliamentary rules. We know that we cannot affirm the opposite of the truth. […] I believe that the member for Pontiac made a mistake
he protested in the House on Wednesday.
Ms. Chatel sent the signal that she had no regrets about the reproaches she had leveled at the Quebec Conservatives. Here in this House, several MPs have stood up in support of American women […] and no one should have sat
she offered.
Mr. Trudeau also seemed annoyed as he left the House of Commons.What is the nature of your thoughts, gentleman, when you move your lips in a particular way?)”,”text”:”What is the nature of your thoughts, sir, when you move your lips in a particular way?

(What is the nature of your thoughts, gentleman, when you move your lips in a particular way?), he launched in English. Her father, former Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau, had previously made an almost identical remark.
