Mr. Speaker, it is worthy to note that we are of the digital age and more and more Canadians are becoming aware and concerned that with one touch on a keyboard, one could have all sorts of information being transferred. It is an important issue for all Canadians.
The leader of the Green Party and the member made reference to the need for change. There were numerous amendments suggested. My colleague and I were just talking about how parliamentary secretaries should not be on standing committees in a voting capacity or otherwise.
A wonderful plan was released just yesterday by the leader of the Liberal Party. At www.realchange.ca one can see the 30-plus ideas and thoughts in terms of how we can effect real change.
I wonder if the member could highlight why he believes that the need for changing the system is so critically important. I suspect there would be a lot more support in the House if the government had accepted the amendments that were being proposed. That is the type of change that we need to see.
As many say, Ottawa is broken because of the actions of the government over the last 10 years.
