Mr. Speaker, since the very articulate member is used to these kinds of debates, I want to ask him some specific questions.
If he remembers attending the last Liberal convention, he must remember that the Liberal Party resolution was approved by a high percentage of supporters. Did he vote in favour of the resolution at the last Liberal convention in 1998?
As a matter of principle, does the hon. member think that it is normal that, six years later, we are still waiting for the summit his party promised, in 1993, to hold within a year? Does he think it is normal for everyone, except the Minister of Industry, to agree that things are not as they should be in the shipbuilding industry, which is only operating at 40% of its capacity? Does he think it is normal to be able to do nothing and to bow down before the American giant, saying nothing can be done? Does he think it is normal?
