Mr. Speaker, I will be very brief, because I only have one comment to make. It will not be necessary to respond, but I want to make my comment.
The reason why I have no question is that it would only serve to drag us into real pompous rhetoric.
First, all the people here in this House were elected legitimately. There are no first-class or second-class members of Parliament.
Second, a government member should have the intellectual rigour not to twist the facts by telling us about the absolutely extraordinary employment rate in Canada, when some people in the regions have problems and, because of this crisis, are in an extremely precarious situation. Consequently, let us at least respect the fact that these people are suffering.
