Mr. Speaker, we are going to make two important steps toward the democratic reform that the Canadian Alliance has long been demanding. Later today we will have the vote on the election of committee chairs by secret ballot. Yesterday the Prime Minister said that he would allow free votes on certain opposition motions. These changes are necessary and overdue but there is a consensus in the House for a small number of other reforms.
Rather than repeat the chaos of the last week, will the Prime Minister instruct his House leaders to get the House leaders together and submit to the House in the next few days a package of reforms on which we can all agree?
