Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Deputy Prime Minister.
Mr. Speaker, yesterday you encouraged this House to be more civil. The Reform Party has promised to bring civility to this place. However, as early as three years ago a member opposite was referring to our leader as the David Duke of the north. Supporters of the Liberal Party were encouraged to refer to Reformers as racists or bigots. Even when we had only one
member in this House derogatory comments were made about Reformers by members opposite when they were in opposition.
My question is direct and simple. Is the Deputy Prime Minister prepared to stand in this place today and promise to persuade her colleagues that the rat pack days are over?
