the tribune thursday march 26 1998 p 17 r flap cheap theatrics saf s mp fred simpson metroland staff local mbryon wilfert was- one of only two liberals to support a motion to allow members to display canadian flags in the housp of commons 1 but even he dismissed the great flag flap as cheap political theatrics by the reform partyx a total of 194 liberal tory ndp and bloc quebecois mps voted last week to defeat a reform motion challenging speaker gilbert parents ruling that props are banned in the house even if those props are flags wilfert who was among the 51 who supported the motion to allow miniature flags on desks emphasized that he was certainly not voting with the reform party vi was voting oh the principle that i have no difficulty with a member dis playing a flag on his desk reform has been hypocritical on the flag issue all along he said it was the reform party who didnt show up at the 1995 unity rally in mon treal- who threw their flags oh the house floor and it was their leader who did- nt show up three years ago when we launched flag day for many of those residents surveyed the response to the flag flap was an over whelming who cares there are more important things to do than making a hullabaloo about flags said joe coughin who wants to see and hear pur politicians acting like a bunch of children denhbllander who came here from the netherlands said the maple leaf deserves the respect mp bryon wilfert we came to canada 35 years agoand have the flag on our front lawn we are very proud of it the brouhaha was touched off when bloc quebecbjs mp suzanne tremblay complained that there were too many canadian flagsin the olympic village in nagano politics wil f e r t admitted to being person ally offended with trem blay s remarks it was out rageous he said you can never have too many canadi an flags on dis play where our national athletes are com peting but the episode left wilfert and other liberals in a quandary how to vote for a reform party motion calling for flag decorations to be allowed in thv house without seeming to vote for the reformers if b v particularly after reform cajrried but a series 6f stunts including driving around s- parlia ment hi 1 tin a car decorated with canadian flags this whole thing has turned into a bit of a dip- cus and the house has suf fered as a result wilfert said its becoming a political game with the reform i party wrapping themselves in the flag and say ing that- if you vote against their motion you dont support the canadian flag he said cc can never have too many- canadian flags on display
