Mr. Speaker, it has been quite a week in parliament. Reform members supported record bank profits made from the service charges paid by Canadians.
Reform told Canadians that despite mounting evidence Canada need not join the rest of the world to fight global warming.
Reform showed no respect for working men and women or for the collective bargaining process.
Perhaps most disappointing, Reform spoiled its motion on the future of Canada and the process of reaching a national consensus through the Calgary declaration, a process we in the New Democratic Party support, especially the idea of Canadians finding common ground on unity, by moving an amendment that could be interpreted to stand in the way of aboriginal treaty rights and self-government.
The New Democratic Party supports the process which began in Calgary. Shame on the official opposition.
