Madam Speaker, first of all, I know the member, not terribly well, but well enough to say that I respect him very much. I know how hard he has worked to become a member of Parliament, and I know the riding he represents, which is very close to my community of London.
I would simply say a few things. I acknowledge what he is saying, at least on the individual side. For constituents in his riding, in mine and throughout the country, there is anxiety and suffering. We should acknowledge that, and we need to be attentive to that, but at the same time, if we are serious about our work as parliamentarians, we ought to put solutions on the table.
I can go on about the solutions of the government and what we are doing now and what we want to do in the future, but I would be more interested, for the purposes of tonight's adjournment debate, to hear what the hon. member has by way of solutions. I heard many problems identified, but I did not hear solutions. I turn it back to the member to address that.
