Mr. Chair, I think it is pretty clear where our positions differ. Although we agree that we should not be partisan, it is also healthy to have a debate. It is healthy when not everyone is moving in the same direction. That is normal, because truth emerges from compromise and from tensions reaching equilibrium. That is how things should work in a democracy. If we all moved in the same direction, it would not work.
That being said, we are having a take-note debate here, the whole point of which is to raise different points of view. What does my colleague think about the silence of the Liberal members who wanted this debate, but from whom we are hearing very little this evening?
