Members opposite are heckling me. I am having trouble not laughing because some of their heckles are fairly funny. People listening to their televisions cannot hear what they are saying so I will have to try to ignore them.
I am going to finish my dissertation with a challenge to the Liberals opposite. They control everything in this House. They have a majority. If they do not want something to happen it is not going to happen. As a matter of fact it is not really the Liberals, it is the cabinet. It may not even be the cabinet, it might be the Prime Minister's office. It might not even be the Prime Minister's office, it might be one or two people trying to figure out how they can keep him elected.
However, whoever it is that pulls the strings over there, I offer those people a challenge: extend employment equity legislation to
the House of Commons. Why is the House of Commons excluded from this legislation?
