They are coming, though. Let us remember that recall will strengthen the link between individual representatives and their electors. That is a good thing to to have happen in the country.
It will provide the disillusioned or dissatisfied voter with an instrument and public process for practical action. We saw it in the Charlottetown accord where people said: "I have a vote", and vote they did in incredible numbers with an incredibly resounding n-o from sea to sea. It was not just us rebels in the west; one of the maritime provinces voted no as well and Ontario as good as voted no.
That is exciting to me because people realize that they can hold the reins of power; it is not just in the Chamber. People will be able to do more than just sit and complain as they wait for the next election. One can deduce from this that recall will ensure political parties and politicians listen more.
I can think of nothing more to say to wrap this up. If politicians would listen more, if they would consult more, ultimately they would be accountable far more to the people who actually voted them in, who actually are paying their paycheques, and who are actually saying: "We want some mechanism in place whereby you are accountable to us".
We have heard time and again from across the floor the Prime Minister and others saying that we do have accountability, that we do have recall; it is called general elections. No, it is called MP recall. I would be thrilled to see the bill pass through the House of Commons as quickly as possible.
