Mr. Speaker, it would appear that the member opposite does not realize that he is part of the government and this is, in fact, the government's opportunity to change this loophole that exists.

What we are asking today, which would be a step in the right direction, is to include parliamentary secretaries.
In the House of Commons on May 4th, 2010. See this statement in context.
