Mr. Speaker, the Liberal caucus is engaged in a very open and useful discussion of this issue. As characterized on television earlier this morning by the member for Charleswood—St. James—Assiniboia, the situation can be described as a debate rather than a split within the Liberal caucus. This is a transparent, open, intellectually stimulating process, and I would commend it to the leader of the fifth party to carry out in his own party.
