Madam Speaker, I want to echo the comments by the member for Courtenay—Alberni about the ridiculous nature of this debate and the cost of it to Canadian taxpayers. However, it does give us a chance to talk about some of the important elements of the government's work.
I am wondering if the member for Winnipeg North could talk a bit more about the dental care plan, because it is one of those areas that I believe the NDP likes to take credit for. We are willing to share credit for it. We think it is an example of Parliament working well, and I am wondering if the member could offer some comments on that.
