Mr. Speaker,
Democracy was under strain In parliament 35 For some it was a struggle To keep those principles alive. Committees without consensus Made it tough to co-operate With just one point of view heard The results were great. And major legislation Quite seriously flawed With no one who would listen It really seemed a fraud. This session could be different More difficult you see To ram bad legislation Down the throats of you and me. Fewer attempts at closure To stifle honest debate And well thought legislation Wouldn't that be great! This 36th sitting of the House It really could be choice An opportunity once more To listen to the voice Of those who chose to send us here Who expect us to deliver More than MP trained seals Whipped until they shiver. And to the backroom Liberals Stop making shady deals Reform is pushing for improved democracy And we're snapping at your heels!
