Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for Joliette for his question.
In 1993, the Liberals' red book talked about restoring public confidence in the institution of parliament. One of the ways to achieve that is precisely to respect this historic right, the right to vote. It is difficult to understand why the Liberals want to violate such an important right as the right to vote.
In every riding, there are voters who are fed up with politics. They often tell us “Canada is a dictatorship elected every four years. We vote for a prime minister and a parliament, but after that we have no decisions to make. Everything is decided by the prime minister and his cabinet”.
Unfortunately and ironically, with the example it is giving to Canadians, this government is proving these voters right.
