Mr. Speaker, what a pleasure it was to hear somebody say exactly some of the things I have been saying for quite some time about the way this place operates. I agree fully with what the member said.
It is a little discouraging. I have been on duty all day. It is past 9 p.m. It could be 4 a.m. We will go through a pile of votes that there is no point in anybody voting on because the government has already made up its mind how it will turn out. It has done that behind closed doors. It will boldly say that is how democracy works. That is hog manure. I am tired of hearing that baloney.
During the years 1984 to 1993 did the Conservative Party under Mulroney do anything different? The GST people who were kicked out, was that an accident or was there an error? What was the difference back then? What is the difference between the Conservatives and the Liberals in the last 20 years?
