Mr. Chair, I would like to say
respectfully to my friends from the Bloc and the NDP that if we take a look at it from the point of view of the party that presently has the responsibility for these issues as the government and I would appeal to my friends in the Liberal Party who also have had the same capacity, have historically been in a position of government this motion and even the amended motion being discussed would say that Parliament should be able to supersede, overs
ee, and micromanage what a minister is doing, and I
just ...[+++] cannot see that. I'm going to take one more question, because we could go on and on.
Monsieur le président, j'aimerais dire respectueusement à mes collègues du Bloc et du NPD que, du point de vue du parti qui assume actuellement la responsabilité de ces dossiers, c'est-à-dire le gouvernement — et j'en appelle aux libéraux qui, historiquement, ont déjà formé le gouvernement —, cette motion et la motion amendée dont nous discutons impliqueraient que le Parlement peut annuler et surveiller les décisions d'un ministre, et en faire la microgestion.
