Madam Speaker, I do not know what planet the member opposite is from. At the end of the day, I think I was very clear. If we want to talk about partisan politics, we need to look at the manner in which this member in particular has dealt with the issue of veterans inside the chamber. We want to be able to appreciate, love and recognize our veterans. Yes, maybe at times I do need to be a little less political, but I can assure members that I am no more political than the member who posed that question.
I would concede that we all need to take a stronger approach in encouraging the municipalities, the provinces and the federal government to do what they can to recognize the importance of our veterans and the service that has been provided to Canadians, in particular regarding Afghanistan. That means looking at parks in our municipalities, and it means the provincial and territorial governments also establishing monuments. I think we can do a lot if we are prepared to work together. The member should read his own speech before he starts criticizing my speech.
