Mr. Speaker, you know I always respect my time limit. I wanted first to point out that the hon. member for Mégantic-Compton-Stanstead looks as tanned as the Minister of Heritage, so he too might have been to Los Angeles.
Finally, this issue might say something about the Minister of Industry's importance in the cabinet. I think it also shows the real influence that minister has. If we were dealing with a minister with real power within the cabinet, surely the legislative results would have been different. But it is really not too late for the Liberals to pull themselves together, and let us hope that, in the coming hours and days, we will see one last instance of the confidence that can still drive this government.
