Madam Speaker, we heard a lot of talk today about democracy and democratic reform. On the topic of democracy, does the hon. opposition House leader believe that it is democratic and respectful to members to establish a protocol committee to scrutinize all public comments of caucus members? A short time ago the Canadian Alliance created such a protocol committee to scrutinize all the public comments of its members to ensure they did not contradict party policy.
In the light of the discussion today, how does the member consider that to be a democratic example from his party?
