Madam Speaker, I would like to make a brief comment with respect to my colleague's remarks.
I would point out to him that the proposal of his party to decentralize government in this country as a means of solving our unity problems has obviously been rejected by the majority of Canadians, as is witnessed by where the party stands in the polls. The majority of Canadians realize that if the country has a weak central government we will be playing into the hands of the separatists, both the separatists in Quebec and the separatists in western Canada.
I believe that Canadians are wiser than the Reform Party, which is reflected in where it stands in the polls.
