Mr. Speaker, the hon. member across says he has not voted yet. There is still time to repent. Members opposite can do that. I know that a large number of them rose in their place. They were against extending the debate. Maybe that means they are in favour of closure. Heaven forbid that Reformers do not want more debate. They are against extending debate.
Let us get this straight. Reformers are against more debate. They are in favour of taking Canadian taxpayers' money and giving it to the American government and they do not want to help poor and lower income Canadians. That is the position of the Reform Party. How could that be reasonable?
Mr. Speaker, a very neutral observer like yourself would no doubt agree with most right-minded Canadians that this is very wrong. It is very wrong and it needs to be corrected.
We on this side of the House will stand as we have in support of the hon. Minister of Finance, who has been so valiant in producing this tax treaty with the United States. This treaty needs to be adopted by both houses of Parliament as soon as possible so we can give that kind of protection to Canadians. That is what all of us want.
I believe that the five hours of debate has now expired so I will end my speech.
