Mr. Speaker, I just finished speaking on the telephone to an 86-year old constituent in my riding who has been watching some of the debate this afternoon. You will have to excuse me, Mr. Speaker, because he said to me: "What the hell are you politicians doing over there wasting my money?"
The members opposite can wax eloquent about all the wonderful things they want to do with other peoples' money. It is other peoples' money. The majority of Canadians, whether watching this or reading about it in the newspaper, know it is their money. They are getting s bit fed up with this place which is not a travelling museum but a stationary museum wasting their money.
I get plenty of calls like the one I just had. I know that now at least my constituent will know I am trying to do something to change that system which is a disgrace. The sooner the other side recognizes it, the better.
