Madam Speaker, I think the member for Elk Island has summed it up. There is nothing more he can say and it is such a shameful thing for the Reform Party to try to warp basic democracy and the grassroots especially. I agree there is nothing more he should say. No wonder he hangs his head in shame in this House of Commons.
I remember when the Leader of the Opposition went around here saying that we should consult people more often, that we should listen to the people more often and have more input from the so-called grassroots.
People should be aware that the motion before the House is to allow the finance committee to go around the country to hear from Canadians. The Reform Party is saying no. It is saying no to people in my riding who are suffering from the worst farm crisis since 1933 and 1935. It is saying no to those people having a say to the finance committee which is made up of all five parties in this House of Commons. People should note that.
It is one thing to pick a fight with the Government of Canada, but it is another thing to hold other people hostage because of an ideological point of view. That is what is happening here in the House of Commons today.
I want to know whether or not the member for Kamloops agrees with those statements.
