His commments, amongst other things, stated that the Jewish people had suffered, but that other peoples had also endured great tragedies. However, as the affair went along, he was growingly portrayed by some as an antisemite and denier of the Shoah, which he has always categorically said he was not. It culminated in a Motion of Blame from the National Assembly of Quebec. Lucien Bouchard is also said to have been influenced by the weight of the affair to leave his function of Prime Minister of Quebec in 2001 (although he did not admit it). Michaud still fights to this day for recognition of the Motion of Blame as an antidemocratic mistake.
