Mr. Speaker, I take particular exception to the comments I have just heard.
The member mentioned the Liberal members from British Columbia. I made a sincere attempt to get an all party, behind closed doors meeting to see if we would get one voice from British Columbia so we would not be fighting each other on the leaky condo issue. I received a very curt letter from the chairman of the Liberal caucus in British Columbia saying that they would have nothing to do with it.
I would like the member to tell me why in trying to provide some relief for leaky condo owners in British Columbia it is the Liberal government that appears to be the sticky point. We want some leadership from the government to pull all the players together because it is a system-wide failure. It is a disaster that is analogous to the ice storm in this end of the country.
I would like a clarification from the member. Why did the Liberal caucus in British Columbia reject a sincere approach to try and get one voice from British Columbia on this issue?
