Sub-Committee of the Committee on Procedure and Privileges: Motion.
The same is happening in regard to the Middle East. What is being done to the Palestinian State is outrageous. We have made our position as a sovereign nation clear and our Minister has done an excellent job. We should be able to back him up, particularly in this House, and take a stand on behalf of the Palestinians. At the moment we are all receiving correspondence from the Red Cross looking for contributions to alleviate suffering in what is a disaster zone. We are not able to talk about it or express ourselves because time will not be given until three weeks or two months down the road.
