Amanda Simard is criticizing former prime minister Brian Mulroney for referring to her as a ``little girl.''
The independent M-P-P left the Progressive Conservative caucus last year over cuts to francophone services.
Mulroney made the comment last night on Radio Canada's ``Tout le monde en parle,'' when he defended his daughter Caroline Mulroney, who is the province's attorney general and francophone affairs minister.
He said his daughter is the best voice that Ontario francophones could ever have, and without naming Simard, said, ``the little girl who resigned, she has left.''
Simard says on Twitter that Brian Mulroney has done great things for Canada, but his comments ``belong to another era and have no place in a respectful and egalitarian society.''
