Madam Speaker, I would question the definition of Liberal in British Columbia. Having said that, I have a lot of friends, people I have known over the years in that party. In fact my former executive assistant when I was on the city of Mississauga council is now an executive assistant to the leader. I am a bit in touch with that party. Frankly I do not agree with its position.
We do not get up every day, contrary to what the opposition might try to paint, and say, “I am a Liberal and I am going to do this by rote”. We have to have some people who think and disagree. We have it in our own caucus, contrary to the opinions of members opposite.
I guess Mr. Campbell is the leader of the opposition and has to fight the Government of British Columbia any way he can. If the only reason for opposing is to oppose, then I do not think that is effective opposition. Tell us what the problems are with this treaty instead of hiding behind the falsehood of a referendum.
