Mr. Yvon Godin (Acadie—Bathurst, NDP): Madam Speaker, first I could say that I am pleased to rise in the House this evening to speak to this motion, but, at the same time, it is unfortunate that we are once again taking a step backwards with respect to democracy here in Canada.
M. Yvon Godin (Acadie—Bathurst, NPD): Madame la Présidente, premièrement, je pourrais dire qu'il me fait plaisir de me lever ce soir à la Chambre pour parler de cette motion.
