That's my point. A shorter workweek or a shorter sitting week wouldn't help you or me or those on the west coast who have to travel great distances. Maybe we're going take an extra day to try to get home, which means that we're only here for three days. What message does that send back to our constituents? Are there things that we can do to sit longer during the week, in terms of starting the House earlier and staying later? I'm one of the ones who says that, look, if we need to be here 24 hours a day, we need to be here, and I'm okay. I don't have kids here.
I think it would be sending the wrong message if we said we were going to do a shortened week. I believe that firmly. My constituents in Cariboo—Prince George elected me, and here are the things that I was elected on. They wanted to know that I was going to go to Ottawa and be a strong voice of Cariboo in Ottawa and not be Ottawa's voice in Cariboo. I think I've done that. I've tried to follow through with that. The other part was that they wanted to make sure their member of Parliament was visible and present. I have to tell you, Mr. Chair, the comments that I have gotten back, over the last 18 months.... And I'll be the first to say, we can always do things better.
