And furthermore, I have the opportunity to make these statements and ask these questions generally without being ruthlessly heckled and shouted down. There is a lot of cynicism towards politicians, and there are some sacrifices to be made in terms of privacy when you are in public office, but collectively and individually we have a high calling and a high standard to uphold. We should not waste any opportunity to participate as constructively and as intelligently as possible in this government. Mr. Speaker, may I have unanimous consent to complete my statement? Thank you.
