The point that I think Mr. Bains is not catching is that they are often the ones who boast about how they champion the rights of the minority. That's what I'm talking about here.
Let's take that principle of fairness and distribute it equally, putting aside partisanship and saying fine, we recognize.... Any sense of compromise on their part would be appreciated, because right now they're saying, “We're going to push this through and....”
Frankly, I don't like participating in committees where there's that hardness. I think we've come to a place where Canadians expect us to compromise and work together. I'm certainly prepared to do that with my colleagues, and I hope we can start things off with that sense of collegiality that Canadians expect.
So members opposite, please think about this.
