Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Mr. Hill worded his remarks very cautiously: he did not call us, the opposition members, paranoid. He did not call us paranoid but he did say that he did not understand our paranoia.
I simply want to tell him that my psychiatrist assured me that although I have three of four mental illnesses I am not paranoid. I used to think I was because when I used to watch Canadian football, as a good Ottawa Rough Riders supporter, I thought they were talking about me during their hurdles. So I thought I was a little paranoid, but I am not.
On the other hand, I would say to Mr. Hill—and I did not want to say this—that we, as parliamentarians and as representatives of political parties, have a responsibility to be consistent. We must be consistent with our past attitude. Let me explain.
One of the reasons why many of our fellows citizens no longer trust politics and politicians is that politicians speak out of both sides of their mouth. Obviously you are going to tell us that we, the Bloc, are in the opposition, but I have a lot more to say.
