Mr. Speaker, what I would agree with is that we have to have an important debate in this country. The government has essentially said that health care is important. The government has said that lowering taxes for low income and middle income Canadians is important. The government has said that making sure this country does not go into deficit in the midst of enormous global volatility is important.
I can understand that the Reform Party may not want to debate unimportant social issues; I am amazed to understand that the member from the NDP does not.
