Mr. Speaker, I enjoyed the member's remarks. I would like to thank him for providing more information about his personal background and his world view.
It is great to hear all the talk about communication, about working together and listening, about wanting to hear a variety of different opinions and about everybody having equal value. I hope we all agree on all of that in principle.
Does the member disagree with the Prime Minister's exclusion of the Leader of the Opposition from the meeting today with all of the other leaders in the House? I am speaking of an opposition leader who received more votes than the Liberal leader in the last election and represents entirely the province of Alberta except for one seat, entirely the province of Saskatchewan and a good chunk of Manitoba. Does everything that the member just said, all of which I agree with in principle, fly in the face of that very act?
