Mr. Speaker,

The honorable member's argument fails to take into account that the parties were elected on their merits at the time of the election; there is no reason to assume that the voters intended to give party leaderships carte blanche authority until the next election. The parties that are represented in Parliament should be as similar as possible to those elected by the people. If, for example, for some reason the Socialists decided to join the Social Liberals and their members were given high spots on the Social Liberal list, would that be the same Social Liberal party that through its member's work and its promises to the voters earned seats in Parliament? Of course not. I think it'd be quite a leap for us to assume that voters are voting for anything beyond the lists presented to them.

Mr. Speaker,

I motion to end debate and move for a third reading.

Is leave granted?

If leave is granted, we will immediately proceed to a division on the amendment proposed by the Leader of the Opposition, and then onto the Third Reading.

Mr. Speaker,

I think all South Americans can agree that it is in our best interests to move this for a final vote as soon as practically possible so we can put structural issues behind us and get on with the important business of public policy. I motion for a vote.

The question is that the bill be read a third time.

Divison! The Ayes will pass to the right of the chair; the Noes to the left.
