Mr. Speaker, some comments have been made here today that are exaggerated beyond belief. My goodness, unsubstantiated accusations and statements, false truths. It is unbelievable.
I have heard statements like 97% of farmers recently polled want this and 86% of farmers want that. Yet they do not table these documents. They simply throw out numbers and say they ran this survey or that survey back in their ridings. They throw these numbers out with absolute callous disregard.
They have made statements such as the government cut back their allotted time from 30 minutes to 10 minutes. The fact is that this member chose to split his 20 minutes with another Reform member. The government had nothing to do with him splitting his time. It was an untrue statement, a false accusation.
If he is making false accusations and untrue statements in the House debating an important bill like Bill C-4, what do we think he is telling his constituents back home? Should they believe anything he says? I suggest not. We in this House should be sitting here telling the truth and giving clear messages, not these false statements. Shame on you.
