Mr. Speaker, my hon. colleague from the Alliance has hit the nail on the head. That is what this entire debate is all about. A lot of people in this country owe their livelihood to one person and that person is the Prime Minister. His office can control all three branches of government. The member is absolutely correct. That has to change for people to know that their vote counts, and that their opinions and concerns matter. Supreme Court justices, members of the Senate, and members of major bodies that govern this country are all appointed. My hon. colleague is absolutely correct, that has to change.
In the House of Commons on October 29th, 2002. See this statement in context.
