Thank you.
Mr. White, your approach is interesting. Actually, the House was prorogued during the Christmas holidays. That caused people to be more cynical towards politicians. The government used prorogation in an abusive way to avoid accountability on some issues, and everyone was hurt. I remember people telling us that we were going to be on holidays and that it did not matter whether we were sitting or not because parliamentarians do not do a heck of a lot. I am not sure if you received e-mails like that.
So the power the prime minister has to prorogue Parliament is a huge responsibility. We cannot use it to avoid facing the opposition and being accountable to the people. Do you think your efforts will help to increase the understanding of the role of parliamentarians and of the parliamentary system? In fact, the opposition has a say in accountability. Often, the government makes the decisions on priority issues, but the opposition also has to play the role of watchdog on behalf of the people. Have you seen that kind of thinking among the public? It is important. It is said sometimes that the opposition cannot do anything and that it only criticizes and complains. That is a very superficial way of looking at the role of the opposition. I look forward to the people waking up and saying that the opposition is also important and that it has its place in a parliament.
