I would like to clarify something. I heard my colleagues talk about the position of my colleague, Mr. Martel, concerning the proposal. I just wanted to note that Mr. Martel did not see any problem with the new proposal currently on the table. This was reported very clearly in the media, “Conservative MP from Chicoutimi-Le Fjord, Richard Martel, does not share indignation of his Bloc neighbours on the proposal”.
Just because he is not here does not mean he took a position one way or another. He simply chose not to express himself on the current proposal.
