Madam Speaker, the member does not know that. Quite frankly, there are hundreds of private members' bills on the Order Paper, and it is not my responsibility to read 300-plus private members' bills.
There are all sorts of debates that come up in the House of Commons. Every time we have an issue debated, is the member suggesting that whoever is speaking should actually do private member's bill research to make sure that they reference the person who brought in the private member's bill?
The member made reference to the private member's bill in his comment. Out of respect for the member, I made reference to the bill, and I suggested that it might even be a part of the discussion when we have the committee, so I do not know why the Bloc members are so offended. I give my apologies for not knowing the details of all the hundreds of private members' bills, if that is what he is trying to get at. I would challenge any member, with the possible exception of the member for St. Albert—Edmonton, on actually knowing the details of every private member's bill.
