Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the hon. member for his question.
That is exactly it. We have a role here. We have a job to do for all Canadians. The Conservative backbenchers have the same job. It involves showing some responsibility in the House of Commons with regard to employment insurance and the economy, among other things.
It is good that Quebeckers and Canadians were asking us why we were in our ridings rather than in the House to present the government with new ideas to help improve their circumstances and prevent tragedies like the one in Lac-Mégantic. These are the issues and the reason for debate. We do not debate just for the sake of debate, but to improve things here. However, this government is against debate. It is too bad. I would like to thank my colleagues for their questions.
