Mr. Speaker, we are making some progress here. We are trying to find the date on which the now Leader of the Opposition changed his mind about Atlantic Canada. It is very important for the House to know this. We now know that on May 29, 2002, the member for Calgary Southwest said:
--there is a culture of defeat that we have to overcome. It's the idea that we just have to go along, we can't change it, things won't change. I think that's the sad part, the sad reality traditional parties have bred in parts of Atlantic Canada.
We know of course that the member for Central Nova was very disturbed at this because at the time he said:
Comments Tuesday by [the member for Calgary Southwest], leader of the Canadian Alliance, reinforce what a narrow, regionally based party the Official Opposition continues to be. We should not be surprised by [his] ill-informed and antagonistic attitude.
Would the member tell the House when the ill-informed antagonistic attitude of the Leader of the Opposition changed from what it is today? We know it was ill-informed and antagonistic because the member for Central Nova told us so, and he always tells it as it is. Therefore, we want to know precisely on what date the Leader of the Opposition became better informed.
