I would just like to acknowledge the compliment, Madam Speaker, from my colleague and good friend from Elk Island for his very kind words indeed.
I think he speaks on behalf of all Reform Party members, indeed all the opposition members. Our role as opposition is to hold the government accountable.
Sometimes a partisan debate gets a little heated at times but our constitutional role is to hold the government accountable. We on this side have a responsibility to ensure that the people on that side are governing this nation to the best of their ability. I hope I also in a small way have made a contribution to this great country of ours.
