Mr. Speaker, I think this is typical of how the government reacts to issues. It is in the past. It lives in the past. It gives us a history lesson. What we really need to do is look to the future. The 21st century is coming. It is going to be different. The old line politics will not work any more.
The government is trying to claim victory on the backs of a decision made by the UN. It is about time that it admitted that we need these criteria, that people are demanding these criteria, and that people are really interested in this.
I wonder if the Prime Minister is going to be just like the last government: do things in secret and then try to somehow rubberstamp them by bringing them here after the decision is made.
