Mr. Speaker, I will follow up on a comment my colleague made regarding missed opportunities. It triggered many thoughts in my mind, and probably in the minds of many of my colleagues on the opposition benches, regarding areas in which the government has not seized opportunities.
In addition to missed opportunities in other areas we are dealing with the issue surrounding the events of September 11 and the fact that the government, in particular the Prime Minister, is not speaking to the House about what his plans are. Apparently he will be talking about them at a fundraiser. He has been talking about policies on CNN rather than in the House.
Could my colleague expand on the notion of missed opportunities? It is becoming a theme not only for this piece of legislation but for the government.
