Mr. Speaker, let me make it clear to my friend that I am not a courier service. I am not someone who exclusively takes the views of my constituents here, but that is part of it. I have not taken a survey, but I suspect that the situation in my riding is relatively balanced. Quite frankly, I am not a courier service. We have Fed-Ex and we have EPS and others to take care of that. Otherwise there would be no point in our being here.
I ask my hon. friend, whom I respect greatly, when he stands to give his speech, condemning the process and the treaty, will he please offer what he is proposing as an alternative? If what he is proposing as a clear alternative will not bring stability, an element of peace to the landscape and certainty to British Columbia, I say he is not doing this process a real service. Yes, he can criticize it. Yes, there are problems with this treaty. It is not a perfect document. However, what is it that he would propose in lieu of this?
