Mr. Speaker, we have listened to a lot of things in the House. What we just listened to was at the bottom of the list as far as intelligence or having any meaning or relevance in Canada.
I could not sit here and let the gentleman across the way call me a separatist because I am not. I will do whatever I can to work hard to keep this country together.
The motion we are debating today is about opening up the debate and allowing Canadians to have input. I would like the member to explain why he feels that Canadians from coast to coast to coast should not have input into this clarity bill, a bill that has a potential to divide the country. All Canadians have an interest in this. All Canadians have a right to come forward and to speak. I would like him to clarify the government's position on not doing that.
