Mr. Speaker, what is the hon. member suggesting? Does he want the members to go away while the House is sitting? Is this not the proper use of the break? Furthermore if the hon. whip was interested in promoting Canada's trade with Italy, then he and the other opposition parties would not refuse to send their members as part of the delegation. Let them show their sincerity by taking part in this mission.
In the House of Commons on May 12th, 1998. See this statement in context.
