Liberal Leaders Denounce Borys
Leadership candidates are denouncing MP Wrzesnewsky for a visit to Lebanon. Interim leader, Bill Graham did not rule out punishment.
Brison: "The last thing we need on this issue are misguided, uniformed and increasingly dangerous comments."
Bennett: "our support for Israel and for her right to self-defence is a constant." She called on Gerard Kennedy to reject Borys' support. Kennedy said he'd speak to him.
Volpe: "Liberal party's position is not Mr. Wrzesnewskyj's."
Rae: "I do worry as a potential leader about the amount of freelancing that's going on. There has to be some discipline." (Remember Peter Kormos?)
Comment by John: Mr. Wrzesnewskyj has the right to come to his own conclusions but he is the associate foreign affairs critic for his party and therefore speaks for his party. The Liberals can't say he doesn't speak for the party but leave him in his current position...
