Madam Speaker, the parliamentary secretary refers to the standstill over the Afghan detainee documents, and there was ultimately a solution in the face of that impasse dealing with a matter that dealt with serious national security matters in an active war zone, by the way. Prime Minister Stephen Harper called an election, and do members know what Canadians did? They re-elected Stephen Harper, delivering a strong, stable Conservative majority government. Do members know what they did to the Liberals? They reduced them to 34 seats. I suspect that the member knows that is where the Liberals are headed whenever the Prime Minister calls an election.
