Mr. Speaker, of course this is an important issue, but I want to first deal with the concern about members of Parliament getting here. I am here. We have had people from across this entire nation here, because we are the only party that has people in absolutely every province and territory.
The thing that confuses me about the approach the government has taken to date is that it has only had the people who get here be here for one day. Now we are saying “here for four days”. That makes far more sense, because if I am going to come here, I am going to come here and invest in the time that is given me over those four days.
The purpose of this should be that we continue to become the Parliament that we should be, and that we are in this House to deal with all of the issues we need to deal with.
I am sorry. I get a kick out of the government when it asks us what we would do. The government can sit down with all of us and discuss it properly. There are ways that we can vote as the House. We can work it out. We have ideas. Let us talk about it.
