There is something that is happening in this House, which is that debate is one- sided. The plus side to that is that this side is getting to be sharpened as better debaters, because they have the opportunity to debate all the time. I worry about the other side and the situation where we will have one side--- It is like sitting on a see-saw and there is nobody on the other side. We need each other. I want to appeal that debate in our tradition is adversarial. We need to get challenged. There may be areas even in this Bill that I do not like, but I have no one to challenge me. So, I get going without anybody challenging. The desire for debate and to be challenged needs to be introduced in the House. I was challenging my friends on the other side that they are missing out on the nature of debate. So, all those on this side, who have now become sharpened to debate, are benefitting but we need the other side to grow as well. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I know a lot about technology.
