Mr. Speaker, I have a few brief comments.
I could tell you that if the Bloc had finished third in the 1993 election, we would have had enough pride not to beg for the job of official opposition. I think that it is a matter of numbers, as the Bloc parliamentary leader pointed out.
I find it hard to understand the third party, Reform. Yesterday, they were calling for the Prime Minister's dismissal; today, they want to become the second party with fewer members. They live in a different world.
As the holiday season gets under way, there may be too many people in that party who still believe in Santa Claus.
