Mr. Speaker, I would like to express my deep satisfaction with the debates that have taken place here over the past two weeks.
We MPs on all sides of this House represent the people who elected us. The various points of view have helped me to better understand this great country.
I especially congratulate my hon. colleagues across the floor, the Bloc and the Reform. They have spoken with conviction and passion. I doubt if there is a country in the world that would permit such a free exchange of ideas, ideas sometimes that call into question the very fabric of this nation.
We have heard here and felt the strength that is Canada. We do not pay lip service to freedom of speech, we live it. We should be the envy of the world.
