Mr. Speaker, having been elected in 1996 I was only a member of the last Parliament for a very short period but I certainly would not use that as a cop-out.
I see it the opposite way. Perhaps this is what differentiates Reform members from Liberal members. I see the glass as half full not half empty. I see some courage in members of our caucus saying that we have to make changes so that we can move forward to the benefit of all Canadians.
