It was so long ago.
I think I'll forgo it for another time, other than to say.... We've all said this because we live it. Our constituents live it. We have family members who are living in it and people who are separated because of it. I don't know of anybody in my short time in Parliament who puts party before country. My hope is that we can stop that verbiage because it's not accurate for anybody in any party.
When it comes to having the ministers come, I like the idea of having them come at the same time. A lot of times when we've had ministers on separate occasions, we get to ask a question, but because that minister is not there it goes back to staffers. To look at the key ministers in question at the same time—and sooner rather than later—is important to every parliamentarian and every Canadian. That's why we're here. It's a good and important discussion to have.
Thank you.
