Mr. Speaker, I understand that the Leader of the Opposition does not plan to work this summer and is going to spend all his time at the cottage beside the lake, but we will work all summer to make sure that we get a proper plan through. That is our commitment.
I hope that in a sign of goodwill and charity the hon. Leader of the Opposition will return his salary for the two or three months he is taking off in the summer period because clearly he is not intending to work the way we are along with the rest of Canadians.
I do not think the Leader of the Opposition understands what has been going on. I do not think he has any notion or interest in an attempt to bring about a clear, step by step approach which is now being considered by cabinet, that will be put forward publicly and that will result in major public consultations over the fall by all Canadians involved. That is the plan and the
commitment that we have had. The only people who have been standing in the way of that have been the Leader of the Opposition and his members.
