Mr. Speaker, government members from Quebec have a significant influence on the decisions made here. We represent Quebeckers just as much as my colleagues opposite. The difference is that the influence we exert on the government is real. We influence the government behind closed doors, that is true. They get all worked up in the newspaper or in the media. That may make them look good, but we get things done.
