June 29, 1984 (32nd Parliament, 2nd Session)

Mr. Trudeau:

And you are sick if you are trying to take one wrong out of Canadian history and make great speeches about it and say that we-excuse me, Mr. Speaker, through you- say that we are going to deal with this particular problem because there is a particular pressure group now. We could mount pressure groups across this country on many areas where there have been historic wrongs. I do not think it is the purpose of a Government to right the past. It cannot re-write history. It is our purpose to be just in our time, and that is what we have done by bringing in the Charter of Rights.
