Madam Speaker, I actually do not disagree with a lot of what is in this motion. The problem is that the NDP does the same thing it has done so many other times when it brings forward an opposition motion. It put something in here that makes it very difficult for Liberals to support it, namely, saying that the Prime Minister has dramatically changed his position, which we all know is not true. This is just an opportunity that the NDP has seized from a little bit of misinformation and a little bit of information taken out of context. I think that, outside of those two comments in there, this is a pretty decent motion and I would be inclined to support it. I am wondering if the NDP would be open to removing those two sentences that directly attack the Prime Minister. The first is (ii) and the second is (a). If the NDP removed those, it would be so much easier for me to support. Would the members remove those two sentences from there?
