Parliament is such a strange institution. A big part of it is games between parties, but underlying all of that there is a need to do things for the country and for the people you represent.
I have a feeling--and it's underlying some of my remarks here--that for the last couple of years the games have overwhelmed the consensus working, the sense of trust or having common goals, even if we don't agree on how to get there.
It has been common in Canadian history for a government, when Parliament makes noises about not getting enough information, to overload the Parliament so that Parliament itself has no means of assessing what's there. I can't remember the exact episode, but something like that happened way back in the sixties and again in the seventies. So we're facing a common problem that happens and repeats itself.
I'll stop there.
