Madam Speaker, I stand here today and celebrate the initiative by the leader of the New Democratic Party to bring this issue to the floor of the House of Commons. I have always believed that the primary purpose of the Chamber was to speak for those who did not have a voice and who were in the most difficult moment of their lives.
I believe that what has happened over this screw-up in revenue and finance has been one of the most despicable things I have ever experienced in my 20 years on Parliament Hill. If ever there ever were a moment for the entire Chamber to come together and create a consensus to fix this immediately it would be on this motion. I will do my part, with my colleagues on this side of the House, to work with the NDP to have this corrected.
