The hon. member says they have not. I have just been through the facts. I wish he would listen to my speech. If he would listen he would agree with me.
The fact is these bills have been debated extensively and Canadians have been consulted. There is disagreement. Of course there is disagreement. We recognise that. However, the government made a commitment to the Canadian people in the red book. The government made a series of commitments, and those commitments form the basis of government action in the House and will continue to form the basis of government action in the months and years to come.
The Prime Minister made it very clear when he was campaigning, and I remember hearing him say this, that at the end of the day Canadians will be able to turn to the red book, go through it and say this government lived up to its commitments. As Prime Minister, he will be going to Canadians in the next election, whether it is 1997 or 1998-it cannot be too soon, and hon. members opposite must be very nervous at that prospect-and he will say: "Here is the red book. Here are the commitments we made. Here are the promises that we kept, one after the other."
