Mr. Speaker, I listened intently to the hon. member's speech. I found it kind of humorous to be quite honest. The member seems interested in the Conservative base and the protection of the base of Conservative support in the country.
I would like to suggest a couple of things to the hon. member, that as long as we have opposition members who stand in the way of bills like age protection, the Conservative base will be strong.
As long as we have the member of Ajax—Pickering suggesting that we should nationalize the oil program, the Conservative base will be strong.
As long as Liberal members stand in the way of an accountable Senate in Canada, the Conservative base will be strong.
Canadians deserve an accountable, elected Senate. They deserve to be consulted on who represents them in the Senate and you should support it.
