Mr. Speaker, democracy is a political system that must be nurtured with good governance.
Democracy is not a given. It must be protected and fostered on a daily basis. I have no problem working hours on end. I fought for years against a dictator in another country.
My only problem is that our constituents already feel disillusioned because of these scandals involving politicians who break the law.
Will this government give us some real answers and protect us from these delinquents who are attacking democracy within the Canadian Parliament? I hope that we will get some real answers during the long hours we will be working.
