All right.
I don't have any comments to make about the processes that are going on right now in Parliament, in the House.
On the question of free votes, some people think that in the Parliament of Canada, all votes are forced votes, that votes are absolutely under the control of the respective parties and that MPs serve only to do whatever is asked of them. I don't think that's the reality.
In a Parliament under the Westminster model, parties have positions determined by conventions. For example, if there's a vote on the budget and the financial package and you're part of the political party that forms the government, you'll vote in favour of those measures. If you're in opposition, on the other hand, you'll vote against them. That's part of our system.
Private members' bills make room for individual ideas. I think free voting in this place is a very important part of our political system here.
