Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the member for being here tonight. It is true that he is very hard-working. If we look at his record, he would be the one who probably speaks the most in the House, and I would like to congratulate him for that.
It is true that he talks a lot for his party. However, when we are here to have a debate and ask questions, unfortunately we are not hearing from everyone on that side with respect to what they have to put forward.
On the member's question, we were against the war in Afghanistan. That is why I got involved with the NDP. The member's position is why I actually got into politics. The fact that Canada went to war in Afghanistan is why I am here as a NDP member and that is why I am in politics. It is their vision that I didn't agree with, and that is why I got into politics.
