Mr. Speaker, I want to say a few words about the quality of people who come to this place and the quality of people they represent.
How can the public respect MPs when MPs do not respect each other? If there is anything that has come up in this debate in the House, it is the haranguing across this floor about MPs and their qualities, as if they are a bunch of petty thieves.
There have been a lot of good people come into this House. Let me tell members that those who are speaking today with great purity are not necessarily in that category.
