Mr. Speaker, the statements made by the hon. member are, to say the least, absolutely unfounded. To accuse this party, that did what it said it was going to do and cancelled the deal, and call us puppets, is absolutely ridiculous.
We are not the party that is trying to abrogate its responsibilities to the Canadian public. We are, by this legislation, doing what we promised before the election and what we promised since we have been elected: cancel the deal because we knew it was not in the public interest. Even the Bloc admits that the process is bad and that the substance of the agreement is not good.
I wish the member would be a little more generous with his terms. It was his leader who was party to that gang of hoodlums, as we knew the previous government, for a good many years. I am getting sick and tired of listening to your hypocrisy, pointing fingers here-
