Mr. Speaker, obviously this minister is a great democrat. He has now committed to having an open, vigorous public debate in mid-July. This is the kind of democracy we have.
From here I can see citizens all over Canada in their cottages close to the lakes discussing and arguing hotly the minister's plan.
Aside from his official optimism, will the minister admit that by insisting on imposing his views on people and provincial governments that do not want his action plan, he is actually sabotaging his own reform?
