Mr. Speaker, I listened with great interest to my hon. colleague opposite and two things caught my attention: weak government and history.
I am just wondering what he is referring to. Is he referring to the government of 1993 that swept in with a majority? Is he referring to the government of 1997 that swept in with a majority? Which part of history does he not understand? There were two mandates and two majorities, but I will put that aside.
I listened with great interest that he wants more jail guards, rights of offenders and on and on. I did not hear anything about treatment. Is the Reform agenda more jails and more jail guards? Does Reform not have compassion? Does Reform not understand the need for treatment?
First, what history is my hon. colleague talking about? If he wants to give us a history lesson, by all means let us talk about 1993 and 1997. Second, what about treatment?
