Mr. Speaker, their strategy to rise on some nonsensical point of order in an attempt to disrupt the flow of my speech will not work. I know that you, Mr. Speaker, will rule them out of order as they continue with this frivolity.
The point is what this motion is about. The member for Calgary Southeast is trying to put forward a softening image. Perhaps he is trying to launch his campaign for leadership of the Reform Party. He is trying to show that he is compassionate man. For the member for Calgary Southeast to be giving advice on whether or not people should stay home with their children is not unlike a Catholic priest giving marital counselling. I would suggest the member should talk to people who have actually walked the walk and talked the talk. Any attempt to try to define the Reform Party as compassionate will be seen as nothing more than an oxymoron which is exactly what it is.
