Mr. Speaker, today in the circus ring we heard the clown speak. He referred to committees and to pride in his party. I would like to point out that we in the Conservative Party number only 20, not 156.
Something happened here yesterday. There was not one member of the government in the House for debate on a motion. That is unbelievable, when there are 156 of them. I am not afraid to bite, and I am not afraid of being bitten back.
The hon. member is proud of his government and of his committees. When I was appointed to the Standing Committee on Human Resources Development, I tabled a motion for examination of the employment insurance reform, which also impacts upon the hon. member's riding. The committee voted it down. Is he proud of that? Just recently, the members of his party voted against compensating some of the victims of hepatitis C. Is he proud of his government for that?
