Mr. Speaker, this is a very profound question that warrants more time than I have. I will just quickly say this: We have a government that has, for two elections in a row, received fewer votes than the main opposition party. The vast majority of Canadians did not vote for the government, and especially when we have a government that was elected with such a low percentage of the votes, they need to have trust that, at the very least, the government is constrained by some of the rules and traditions of the House. The Speaker is the guardian of that. Canadians also have to have confidence in the impartiality of the Speaker.
