Mr. Richard Harris (Cariboo—Prince George, CPC): Mr. Speaker, I will begin by quoting the former ambassador to Israel, Alan Baker, “We're seeing the leaders of opposition parties marching in Montreal under Hezbollah flags -- Hezbollah which is a terrorist organization”. Baker was referring, of course, to the Liberal member for Bourassa.

The Conservative record, by contrast, is one of consistent support for Israel and her fight against her and, therefore, our enemies. We cut off funding to the anti-Semitic Canadian Arab Federation, even though the Liberals criticized us. We also led the world in boycotting the Durban II conference.

Our government stands alone in voting no on the UN Human Rights Council motion singling out Israel for special criticism. Only the Conservative Party can be counted on to stand up consistently, without hesitation, without reservation for Israel in its fight against the forces of terror and nihilism.
