Madam Speaker, I listened very closely to the hon. member for Esquimalt—Juan de Fuca. I know that his party, the Reform Party, is fighting tooth and nail against the Nisga'a bill. I respect the hon. member's views very much. Certainly I think he is always very sincere in the debates we have in the House. Just as hard as he is fighting now, his party fought very hard against hate motivated crimes. Just this last week, we saw a tragic case in Surrey, British Columbia where a Sikh man was murdered. The Reform Party in the House fought against the Liberals, the NDP and the Conservatives, and now it has voted in favour of increasing sentences for hate motivated crimes.
I think British Columbians and people who live in Vancouver would like to know from this member whether he and his party would vote the same way having seen what happened and having seen this law now work where the sentences were increased to those social misfits who murdered this innocent individual. Would they still vote in the same way on hate motivated crime that this government and all members in the House, expect the members of the Reform Party, voted in 1995. Would he still vote the same way and would his party still vote the same way?
