Mr. Speaker, I would like to make a few comments. I will try not to be too tough on my colleague.
When I hear that you do not need any lessons from the Bloc, I think the member is fantasizing a little. There is nothing in today's motion that says the Prime Minister did not do his job. What the Bloc wants through this motion is that for government to get on with its work.
This morning, the government House leader started to say that the motion was a non-confidence one. I would like to quote the member for Charleswood—St. James—Assiniboia and I would like the member to comment on this. I quote:
My guess is that [the Prime Minister] will step down maybe two, three or four weeks after the convention. I think it's in the interests of all.
The member said this on September 23, 2003 and it was reported in the National Post . These words from the member sum up exactly the Bloc motion we are debating today.
