They are indeed well served, as the member says. In the Gaspé, for example, the anglophone minority has college-level courses in English in Gaspé. For all of the Gaspé, there is a regular service and regular train service is maintained because, for one reason, many of these people have family in Ontario and elsewhere. They are very well served in many places.
I particularly wanted the member to realize that not only improper things had happened in committee, that one person at least learned something.
My question concerns another matter. Does the member for Kindersley-Lloydminster not think that the Senate could have considered many other aspects of the legislation? Including the fact that a little more than half the Reform members were
elected by fewer than 40 per cent of the electorate and that their democratic claims are not really very high.
Could the Senate not have looked at that? While it was doing a superficial job, it could have gone a little further and looked to see if the members in the House representing the fewest voters were not members of the Reform Party?
