Mr. Speaker, it is always dangerous on this side of the House to speculate as to what members on the other side are thinking. In this case, I would simply say that I do not know if they were thinking. If they were, they certainly were not communicating with each other.
As has been pointed out on a number of occasions today, not only is the Liberal Party represented at that committee, but its deputy House leader, its whip, and its deputy whip are the primary personnel on it.
I totally agree with my colleague. I do not know why we are not discussing the economic situation, which we know is fragile. We are on a good journey, but we cannot take it for granted. I do not know how many questions we have had on the economy all session from the Liberal Party, but they have been few.
It does concern me that we are not really facing the issues that are important to Canadians, especially the Canadians I am hearing from in my riding of Kitchener--Conestoga.
