Mr. Speaker, as you have said it yourself, this is not a point of order. This is not even a good point, as the hon. member should know.
The point I want to make is that rules like this one, which can be so easily violated that it becomes absurd in a way, should never come into force.
I believe that it is more up to members of this House to stop saying that all those who contribute to a political system expect something in return, as was pointed out by the member from the Reform Party. However, I commend the member for Richelieu for putting the issue to the House. I know his intentions are honourable. He moved this motion because he too wants public standards of behaviour to be high.
Our party and our government made a commitment in this regard and, in the last few months, we noticed that Canadians realize that the government is there to serve them and not to serve its own interests.
