Mr. Speaker, I would also like to say that I was insulted by the parliamentary secretary. He asked us for unanimous consent. We have been listening to him all day talking about his position on Reform amendments. He said
that we were trying to slow down the process, that it would be detrimental to the administration of justice and so on.
The amendments which we put before the House were serious, well thought out amendments, which we felt would help improve the bill. That is the spirit in which we enter debate in this House. Then, at the very last minute, as my colleague for Yorkton-Melville said, the Liberals asked for our permission to introduce an amendment. The Liberals knew the bill was being debated in the House. They followed it all the way through committee. It is now back here. We have done our homework and then we get this insult that I would even dare to say is unparliamentary in the terms in which it was presented.
Therefore, I would request a retraction from the parliamentary secretary for insulting the Reform Party by saying that we would not understand his amendment. I felt it was totally unparliamentary and disgraceful.
