Madam Speaker, I would like to thank the member for his intervention. My question will be a very simple one. Do you not think that you would have been more successful had you presented something more specific instead of lumping everything all together? There are a lot of things on which we agree, but we cannot vote in favour of all aspects of the motion.

Madam Speaker, I am happy to clarify that I was not labelling the member's previous intervention as a tantrum. I was referring more to the totality of question period interventions we see from his party, with perhaps the odd exception. There is my charitable moment in respect of Conservative performance in question period. There are a lot of things I would love to have seen in that agreement, sure, but we can get in only what we can agree to move forward on with another party. I share his frustration that the government has not made this a priority. I am happy to criticize the government for that. I would like to replace the government with a majority NDP government that will do those things. In the meantime, we were able to get agreement on what I think is a very significant step forward, which is providing dental care to Canadians who have a household income of $90,000 or less, among other things.

I thank the member for that intervention. Of course, the Table had that listed already, so Journals will reflect that tomorrow.
