Thank you, Madam Chair, and through you to Mr. Holland.
From my perspective, I have actually seen what I would consider to be a decline in democracy. We've seen a diminishment in transparency and accountability. I think many Canadians agree with that, notwithstanding your position today.
Mr. Holland, you were a dogged opponent of the Harper government in opposition. What would have been your reaction if Peter Van Loan, Vic Toews or even Stockwell Day had been responding on a computer screen?
