Mr. Speaker, we now have everybody criticizing Andy Thompson, even Senator Ron Ghitter.
Canadians can be relieved that even Senator Ron Ghitter thinks that Andy Thompson's attendance record is unacceptable.
A note to any senators watching, they may not remember Senator Ghitter, since he comes to work only about half the time.
This week Mr. Ghitter cranked up the handle on his lazy boy to a semi-reclined position and was outraged at absentee Andy.
A note to any citizens watching, this half-time senator cost them $150,000 last year. That is a pretty expensive lazy boy.
Now that Senator Ghitter is paying attention I will extend an invitation to him to get up out of his easy chair, step down from his Senate seat and stand for election.
