Mr. Speaker, the hon. member should not try to rewrite history, even if it is recent history.
As I understand it, the committee list was agreed to by all committee members collectively. Second, it is the Reform Party that insisted that the committee go to British Columbia. If the Reform members do not like the fact that the committee is going there and that it costs money, this is their fault.
In fact, what the member is complaining about shows that this system works. We are willing to listen to the opposition, even when its concerns are as poorly grounded as the Reform Party's. I do not know why the hon. member is getting up today and saying that we should not be spending money when the Reform Party asked that this be done.
