Mr. Speaker, I had the privilege of working with the hon. member for New Westminster—Burnaby for many, many years. In fact, when I first landed in B.C., it was in New Westminster. To answer his question, yes, I am also actively advocating that the foreign registry should come into effect immediately. I would also like to thank the hon. member from the NDP for seconding this, as well as the NDP for supporting the motion.

I heard someone indicate that they do not give the motion unanimous consent, so there is not unanimous consent. On a point of order, the hon. member for New Westminster—Burnaby.

Again, I am going to ask the hon. member for New Westminster—Burnaby to please not take the floor until he is recognized for doing so. I know this is a very difficult issue for many, so I ask members to please listen carefully to the questions and listen carefully to the answers. The hon. Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance.

Mr. Speaker, we are offering it under a Westminster parliamentary system that is multiple centuries old. The member is talking about a minority government as though she has never even come close to understanding what happens in a minority. I am sorry if the NDP figured out how to actually get things done on behalf of Canadians while Conservatives would rather just yell and scream all day long about what they wish would happen; clearly, they do not use any kind of ability to act like adults in this room to get things done on behalf of their constituents. Very simply, if Conservatives are going to be voting against this, is it safe to then say that they would remove this program if elected into government?
