I would ask the parliamentary sec
retary, when he has some time instead of sitting there in his political way looking at these partisan issues, to sit d
own and talk to the member for Edmonton—Strathcona in my party, talk to a man who was a refug
ee, an immigrant to this country who is now a citizen and a member of parliament; talk to the member for Dauphin—Swan River who came to this country and is not only a citizen of this country
...[+++] now but is also a member of parliament; talk to the member for Surrey Central who came to this country as a refugee, an immigrant, and became a citizen of this country and was elected to the Parliament of Canada; talk to the member for Calgary East who came to this country as a refugee, an immigrant, and is now a member of parliament.
Quand le secrétaire parlementaire aura un peu de temps à sa disposition, au lieu de se lancer dans un discours partisan comme celui-ci, je lui demande de parler au député d'Edmonton—Strathcona, un réformiste, un ancien réfugié, qui a immigré ici et est maintenant un citoyen canadien et un député. Qu'il parle au député de Dauphin—Swan River qui est venu dans notre pays et qui est maintenant non seulement un citoyen canadien mais également un député.
