The member will have her chance to speak, and I certainly encourage her to do that.
The member for Oak Ridges spoke about figments of his imagination and he threw around the buzzwords of responsibility, good governance and things like that, but the fact remains that this government which, for example, has invoked closure more than any previous government in the history of Canada, has also been besieged by wrongful conduct by its members and in particular members of its cabinet. This country has seen that kind of conduct.
The Prime Minister, rightfully, has taken efforts to move those members off to the sides. That is an interesting thing that largely has gone unnoticed by the member opposite in his comments, but over here we certainly have noticed the changes. They are happening pretty well every weekend. In fact, one of the members opposite said about a month ago he was hoping the Prime Minister would let him golf with him on a Sunday. I think he said that in the hope the Prime Minister would not announce his demotion that Sunday as he had moved other members around on the three previous Sundays.
We have a basic objection to this boondoggle approach that the member denies the government has taken, and he of course contradicts the Auditor General. I put more faith in the Auditor General's comments than I do in those of the member. The gun registration program is boondoggle number two and boondoggle number three is just waiting to happen, because the government is way past understanding that it cannot run the country like the Liberal Party. It has to run this country for the benefit of all Canadians, not just members of its party.
This is my question for the member. Does he not understand that by shedding some of these old style, patronage based and long discarded approaches to good management he could save taxpayers of this country hundreds of millions of dollars and, therefore, his government would be able to reduce EI premiums along the lines that the Auditor General has suggested would be appropriate?
