Mr. Speaker, the most important part of any action plan in this day and age is to make sure that all Canadians have an opportunity to participate in forming it, in shaping it and in designing it. That is what consultation is about.
I understand the Reform Party has this authoritarian streak. It does not want to consult with people. It does not want to ask people. It does not want people to participate.
Why is the Reform Party afraid to go to the public and ask what they think rather than going ding-a-ling on a telephone line?
