Mr. Speaker, there was no intent on my part to, in any way, cast aspersions on any particular candidate for the prime ministership of this country, whether it be from my party or any other political party.
We are at a time in our history when almost all of our political parties are going through changes in leadership. I would hold my own leader to the same standards as I would hold the members opposite in terms of their leadership candidates. The Progressive Conservative Party and New Democratic Party are going through the same kind of process.
It affords us a wonderful opportunity for members of all parties, who truly want to see House reform, to take advantage of the moment in our history to come together to see that it takes place. We may not have that kind of opportunity again for a number of years.
I want to work fully with my hon. colleague who has just spoken and continue to work together to see that these things happen. They must happen for the sake of the country over and above any kind of political party or aspirations that we have in that regard.
