Mr. Speaker, I have had the privilege over the last 10 and a half years to listen to my hon. colleague, when he was in government and now in opposition. In this case he brings up some very valid points. However, all the rhetoric, all the theatrics, all the discussions mean absolutely nothing if he is not prepared to stand in the House, at the very first opportunity, and stand up for Dalton McGuinty and the Ontario Liberals.
On a more personal level, he and I know what it is like to immigrate to Canada. He and I know what it is like to have the privilege of being elected as a member of Parliament although we were not born here. He and I know that there are probably many other immigrants out there who may themselves have that golden opportunity. However, if the government gets its way, they may not have that opportunity.
The way it could be stopped is quite simple. He and his party could stand up and vote against the government at the first confidence vote. Will he now tell the House, tell his constituents and tell all those immigrants he so eloquently talked about that he will do the right thing and bring down the government at the very first opportunity?
