Madam Speaker, it is interesting how they can dish it out but they cannot take it, these holier than thous. It is interesting to hear them get up on their feet and talk about honour and dignity.
We stand for honour and dignity. We do not stand for the dishonour of simply grandstanding to carve out a name for ourselves, as I suggest the hon. member is doing. Instead of going off into some flighty la-la land like she has been doing for the last little while, she should concentrate on the facts. The facts are crystal clear but, oh no, she does not want to do that. That would muddy the water too much and it would not get her grandstanding message across.
This member and all Reformers opposite should take note of the importance of the transitional jobs funds and other HRDC measures that we put into place. Instead of pulling apart and trying to pit group against group and region against region, they should be celebrating what we are doing for aboriginals, students, the disabled and community groups across our great country.
A number of Reformers actually took time to write the minister and to lobby on behalf of their constituents, and yet here they do the big flip-flop. Yes, they say that they have lobbied on behalf of their constituents but that politically they now have to oppose it and grandstand like they have been doing for the past seven weeks.
Canadians see through those people over there. They see who they are and what they represent. Canadians will have no part of it.
