Mr. Speaker, I would say that the responses we are hearing are Clintonesque, Nixon-like. That may or may not be parliamentary.
It is cynical repositioning when a government says one thing to get elected and then completely turns its back on what it has said. We saw it with the GST. It has been chronicled. The sky would fall if we entered into a free trade agreement. The Prime Minister took his pen and wrote zero when it came to helicopters. We know the words mean nothing after an election as far as the Liberal government is concerned. That is unfortunate because it does add to the cynicism and the public's lack of confidence that we have seen.
The red book promises have dissipated. The Liberals are preparing for a third volume, chapter and verse of what they will do now. Canadians can only shudder as to what that end result might be.
The Conservative Party supports this motion and encourage all members to do so. We look forward to the retorts and I am sure the reasoned debate and response that we will be hearing from the government on this score.
