Mr. Speaker, the hon. member is telling us to go to the electorate with this. I do not know if that is a challenge her and her leader are making. Do we want to fight an election on this issue? Her leader can decide.
I remind her and others that the last time a leader of the Alliance or Reform Party decided to tell the Prime Minister to call an election, the guy lost his job and is now sitting over in the far corner, having been defeated by someone else as leader of his own party and having been trounced at the polls.
With regard to the issue that the hon. member raised in terms of why we would not delay the implementation, it is interesting that she would say that because a number of her own colleagues actually asked me to make the legislation retroactive. Insofar as the leadership campaigns were concerned, they wanted us to go back and apply it to a campaign that was already underway. This is the same as asking for rules on an election campaign which already had started. Some of her colleagues asked for us to push it back, in terms of that part of the implementation, and she has asked us to push it further ahead in another part of the bill. That is not very serious.
