Mr. Speaker, this weekend showed that Reform Party members do not know what they want to be.
Some suggest that Reformers go back and join the revamped Conservative Party. Others will do anything to convert former Conservatives. The leader wants a party with a new name but the same leader.
One thing that unites all Reformers is an admission that the Reform vision for Canada cannot attract support on its own merit. The best they can hope for is to be Reformatories. The Reformers today are up Beaver Creek without a paddle.
Today the voters for Port Moody—Coquitlam have a choice. They can choose a party that does not know what it wants to be and may not exist by the year 2000. Or voters can choose a strong local representative in the Liberal Party, the only national party that has a future, a party that is focused on everyday needs of people, not political opportunism.
I am sure the voters of Port Moody—Coquitlam will do what is best for their community and support Lou Sekora.
