Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Haute-Gaspésie—La Mitis—Matane—Matapédia.
His efforts here are very important. I am proud to support him, because in the Parliament of Canada, real democracy is being threatened by the extraordinary power held by the major parties
We are here now as members of Parliament. Those of us who are in smaller parties, such as the Green Party, are also joined by those who are independents. We are now 12. We are not just 12 individuals. That is 12 ridings across Canada, all equal but with unequal rights in this place, without any justification.
Surely we should be at least able to get the rights this member has put forward in this motion.
