Madam Speaker, I think a few points are being missed in this debate. I would like to point out to members of the Reform Party that I will be standing up and voting my conscience. It will not be in support of the motion that the Reform Party has proposed. The reason for this is fairly simple.
We live in one of the best countries in the world and we all recognize this. One of the reasons this is the best country in the world is that we have some very good institutions. One of those good institutions, even though once in a while some judge makes a wrong decision, is our court system.
I think the Reform Party is being somewhat disingenuous on the one hand to try to pretend that it is for law and order and then to continually try to undermine the courts of this country. Members of the Reform Party cannot have it both ways. Reform members would serve their constituents very well if they would explain how the system works and then wait for the outcome. I do believe the member would be doing a greater favour to his constituents than to stand up in this House day after day and exploit a difficult issue for pure political gain.
