Mr. Speaker, I quickly glanced through this and I have followed the debates of Bill C-2 within the committee.
Because that gentleman is very experienced in terms of accountability when it comes to legislation and all of that, I must say to him that the bill is missing one very serious aspect. The bill can be passed tonight and through the Senate tomorrow, for example, but it would still not stop myself or someone else from becoming a member of another political party tomorrow without going back to our constituents.
We talk about accountability but the entire House has ignored or forgotten the aspect of stopping floor crossing.
I would like to ask the hon. member why such an important aspect of accountability to our constituents would not have been included in Bill C-2?
