Mr. Speaker, I am not sure what government policy was at stake here. I am quite sure there was none at all, but if the hon. member is asking about the commitment to parliamentary modernization, his own previous House leader and I worked very closely to modernize 26 rules of the House. In the previous Parliament before that, we worked equally as hard to make the five party system work. We are prepared to have another modernization committee, provided his party does not stall it, which it has been doing for the last three days.
In the House of Commons on December 13th, 2002. See this statement in context.
