The members from the Bloc appear interested in heckling my committee remarks, and I suppose that's their privilege, but we had a very productive committee last time. We worked very well. We worked very well with Ms. Duncan, Madam DeBellefeuille, Mr. Ouellet, Mr. Lloyd St. Amand from Brant, and the other members, and it was because we had some give and take.
Apparently not all members of the opposition are interested in give and take and in treating members with equal respect. If we don't move to that point, we are not going to have near the productivity that we had in previous committees. The productivity we had in previous committees was that of delivering things to constituents. Mr. Boshcoff, the former member from one of the Thunder Bay ridings, needed to deliver forestry reports because forestry was important to his riding. There were things of that nature. It wasn't just for government members that we delivered productivity from this committee.
I think those things should be given consideration as we go ahead.
