Mr. Speaker, I want to respond to one thing the member said several times, that Bill C-4 is the most important bill parliament will have passed—what did he say—this year, this century or this millennium. I do not know what he was saying but he gave it great importance.
Does the member really believe it is more important than rejigging the relationship that we have as Canadians one to another? Even though this space station is of great consequence, and undoubtedly it is a wonderful technological masterpiece, is it more important than legislation that is pitting Canadians against Canadians, that is dividing up rights based on personal characteristics and racial origin rather than treating everyone equally as Canadians?
Does he really believe that Bill C-4 is so much more important than Bill C-9 which we would have loved to have been able to debate today?
