Mr. Speaker, I have another comment following the member's reply to my colleague.
I am not sure how many committees this member has sat on. I have been on many committees. I have see what comes in the front door and I have seen what goes out the back door. It is usually the same thing. There is very little in the way of changes.
The member has so much confidence in the committee I would like him to explain something to me. Four or five years ago the committee submitted a very comprehensive report. The committee did extensive work in getting public input and presented an excellent report on citizenship and what should be done. Liberal members contributed a great deal to the report. Where is that piece of work by the committee? It has disappeared. It has not been brought forward. There is no reflection of it in this bill whatsoever.
Committees on the Hill are not very functional. They do not accomplish a great deal because the attitude of the ministers is that they can do it better than committees. It is obvious that is what is happening. What happened to that good report which I know the member is aware of? Where is it at?
