Mr. Speaker, I regret that the member found nothing in my speech to be of use to him, but I would be lying if I suggested that I thought anything otherwise when I was giving it. I was trying to inform the public to perhaps give people a better understanding and view of what is going on, what has happened and how we ended up here today.
For that member to say that his job and the Conservatives' job is to oppose legislation, he does not have the benefit of those of us who have been here for many years and who have seen this over and over again, such as their getting up and calling people a “trust fund baby”, as the Conservatives did to refer to the previous prime minister, and giving out personal attacks over and over. The Conservatives have never actually offered anything of substance. They do not offer anything of substance, and as the parliamentary secretary to the House leader said earlier, one would think they would have learned something after the last election. Canadians actually want substance; they do not want what this party has been offering for 10 years.
