Mr. Speaker, I do not think that party will ever learn the tradition in this House. When a member of parliament gets up and apologizes, in the way the minister apologized and in the way the member for Edmonton—Strathcona apologized, we have a tradition that when a mistake is made and recognized we accept the word of an hon. member of this House.
I know that the Alliance Party is desperate. We will miss the gentlemanly approach of the hon. member for Calgary Southwest when he leaves. He is a good example to those members but they do not want to follow it.
