Mr. Speaker, first of all, I would like to thank the member for his excellent advocacy. Quite frankly, what upsets me is not that the Liberals flouted Parliament. We are the representatives of the people, so the people of Northumberland—Peterborough South, the great people decided to send me here and I am their representative. When the government says no, we cannot have that, it is saying no to the people who are our ultimate bosses and it is that connection to people that separates us from so many despotic regimes around the world.
