Mr. Speaker, I would like to address some of the issues the member raised. First, the government is having a great day as is everyone who is a Canadian. Being a Canadian implies and means they are having a great day.
Second, the member talked about Republicanism at the beginning of his comment. I take offence to that. I am a monarchist and that is about as far away from Republicanism as one can get, so I hope the member reflects on that.
I want to point the great initiatives on democratic reform that the government is undertaking, from term limits for senators, to expanded voting opportunities, representation by population, getting tough on political loans. Canadians are asking for these to be passed. That is exactly what the government is doing, including bringing forward legislation on Senate elections, which has been a long-time demand of the people of Canada.
My question for the member deals with the Liberal Party. He is quite critical of the Liberal Party. It seems the Liberal Party is in great disarray. Look at what happened with the immigration bill that the NDP, the Bloc and this government came together to work on with great success and yet the Liberals were all over the map. They were left, they were right, back and forward, they did not know which direction they were going. Would the member agree that the Liberal Party is in complete disarray?
