Madam Speaker, my colleague made one observation that I want to take particular note of, and that is about the constant mixed messages we get from the government. She spoke about different members bringing different messages to different communities. It is worse than that. We have ministers and parliamentary secretaries giving contradictory explanations of the conflict here in the House, even tonight.
It is clear that the government cannot actually get a handle on taking any consistent position or defining the positions that it has taken. It is simply trying to have a kind of management of diversity of opinions on this without reference to any clear principles. I wonder if the member could reflect on what that does for Canada's credibility when the Government of Canada is literally taking contradictory positions in the course of tonight's debate and in general.
