Based on my personal conviction—I'm not necessarily speaking for all my colleagues—I find it deplorable that the image that people have of the Parliament of Canada is limited to the oral question period. I think that's the worst example we can offer of the people who work for the welfare of their fellow citizens.
What you've seen today is what I often experience in Parliament. It's not like the oral question period. We do a job in which we listen to people, we ask questions in an attempt to gain a clear understanding, in order to make recommendations that might improve the living conditions of our fellow citizens.
Thank you for being attentive and for seeing another example of people who, even though they have different opinions on the essential aspects of things, can work together for everyone's greater well-being.
Thank you.
