On the recordDecember 18, 2001
Mr. Speaker, I would suggest nothing could be further from that. We are talking about real people with real families facing real problems. And in the give and take of different ideas, honestly expressed, we are gathered on the eve of bringing back to the floor a piece of legislation incorporating many ideas from many different sources in the truest spirit of compromise and consensus in a groundbreaking way, in terms of health care, to expand opportunities for those who find themselves without jobs. Mr. Speaker, what we are talking about is economic security and future opportunity.
