There is a short fuse, Mr. Speaker.
When the truth hurts, this is what happens. Last evening, they tried to pull a fast one on us. This morning, we begin to see the weakness of their arguments and realize that they just wanted to be in the news again.
But Canadians will not be fooled. They realize what is going on and they showed it again last week in the polls. The Liberal Party of Canada has the support of 55% of Canadians, compared to 12% for the Reform Party and 15% for the Conservative Party. Even without a leader, the Conservatives are more popular than the Reformers. This may be why the Reform Party is trying to conclude other sorts of alliances. They committed adultery and gave birth to the NDP. Look at the results.
The people of Bourassa are proud of their Liberal member in this House.
They are proud to see that the Quebec caucus is working like crazy for its people, while the members of the opposition are not taking their role seriously, they whine, they clown around and they put on sombreros in protest against the Senate. Some people here are managing the country and working for the public.
They can make all the fuss they want. They can whine, try to get themselves on camera all they like. People are not going to be fooled. The opposition will never form the government simply because it is again showing itself to be a band of clowns. That is today's reality. Perhaps they will make the evening news today or tomorrow, perhaps they will say all sorts of stupid things—
