Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for talking about the role that parliamentarians play in this process.
I heard the member for Calgary Nose Hill inciting people to phone their MP as if it were almost a punishment for us to have to speak to our constituents. However, I am thinking that how we develop policy comes from our constituents calling us, giving us ideas, allowing us to take them into Parliament and into committees. From there we develop policy, not based on what one company or person is doing, but what is fair for all companies and all Canadians. Therefore, policy has to apply equally, which is a point the member made during his speech.
The interaction with our constituents is an important part of our policy development. Could the member tell us a little more about how we value the input from our constituents?
