Mr. Speaker, I do not want to enter into a lengthy debate with the member for Chicoutimi because I see him often in the lobby and I am sure that, in the next election campaign, I will have the opportunity to visit his riding a lot more often. Therefore, I want to save my words and my energy for the next campaign, two years from now.
When I said that the principle and the wording of this motion were general, I did not mean it in a derogatory way. On the contrary, this motion is general enough to attract broader support. I find it interesting that the researchers for the Progressive Conservative Party drew this from the resolutions adopted by the Liberal convention. This does indeed put the Liberal Party in a very bad spot.
In any case, nothing should surprise us with this government. I am certain that the left hand does not even know what the right hand is doing and that the government will reject our motion, as it usually does. According to the government, nothing that comes from the opposition can be worthwhile. So we will see what comes of this later today or next week.
