Madam Chair, I remain a huge fan of your work and your stewardship in this chamber. I am pleased to speak before you today.
I would like to take a minute to congratulate my colleague, the member for Aurora—Oak Ridges—Richmond Hill. He has been a powerful voice for the great people of his communities. We are so honoured to have him in this Parliament to champion their cause and be such a clarion voice for their interests, their values and their dignity.
I would like to ask the hon. member for his assessment of what his constituents are advising him, with respect to the confusion they have heard from Liberal leaders giving four different messages over four days in the period of a week. Even during tonight's take-note debate, we do not have a clear sense of what the government's actual position is. That must cause a great deal of grief and pain.
I am curious what the hon. member thinks.
