I see the New Brunswick member on the other side. Yes, he must regret having given up his seat for the election of the present Prime Minister. He made the big mistake of giving up his seat thinking that his leader could put Canada back on the road to sound management, dynamic economic growth and good relations with Quebec. He believed, and today he is ashamed. He does not want to speak tonight either. He gave up his seat for someone who does not keep his promises, reneges on his commitments and ignores the red book.
And what is he waiting for today? We would forgive him if only he would say: "The interests of the nation come before the interests of a political party".
