Mr. Speaker, I would like to remind the hon. member that I did take part in those committee hearings. I travelled to Ontario and Quebec with that committee.
The parliamentary secretary would like to simplify the situation by saying that the Reform Party would eliminate the 49th parallel. That is absolute nonsense.
Of course we know that the Liberal Party does not have a policy. It always follows public opinion. If public opinion shifts to that side, it will move to that side.
Yes, the Reform Party is in agreement and would like consultations to take place with Canadians to ensure that there is a fair rule based system in the world. However, that does not mean eliminating the 49th parallel, as the Liberals would like to say.
