Mr. Speaker, I welcome the member's maiden speech, as well as his 20 years of service in the armed forces of Canada. It is a very commendable attribute that should be recognized.
I would like to talk about the federal accountability act that has been proposed by the government. I have two specific questions to ask.
The first question is about freedom of information and whether he will agree with specific legislation that opens that up to all Canadians.
The second question is about banning floor-crossing in the chamber and whether he will support the NDP bill to stop it, a practice of which Canadians have grown very tired.
