Then why are we so far in debt? Why is the country so far in debt?

Silver Star Mountain Resort November 29th, 1994
Mr. Speaker, today I congratulate one of the stars in my riding of Okanagan-Shuswap. That star is Silver Star mountain resort, recently ranked as the best family ski resort by Fodor's Insider Guide to Ski Resorts .
Silver Star mountain resort, a 45-minute drive from the growing north Okanagan city of Vernon, also was honoured by Ski Canada Magazine in November as having the best on-mountain village in western Canada, ahead of Whistler Mountain village, ranked number two.
In 1993 some 263,000 people came to ski Silver Star, generating an estimated $50 million boost to the area's economy. The mountain has an annual snowfall of over 18 feet, providing consistent snow for its 72 ski runs served by 8 lifts. From water skiing in summer to snow skiing in winter, the beautiful riding of Okanagan-Shuswap truly is becoming a mecca for outdoor sports enthusiasts.
World Trade Organization Agreement Implementation Act November 29th, 1994
Mr. Speaker, we all realize that Canada is at its best during periods of negotiation agreements outside the country.
The problems that I hear from many business people in Canada seem to be interprovincial trade barriers along with high taxation in Canada. What does the hon. member think about interprovincial trade barriers?
Yukon Surface Rights Board Act November 25th, 1994
You are saying they should be restricted to 50 per cent and no more.
Yukon Surface Rights Board Act November 25th, 1994
The other 50 per cent will be legal hacks.
Yukon Surface Rights Board Act November 25th, 1994
More than you do. Why do they not go for 100 per cent?
Yukon Surface Rights Board Act November 25th, 1994
Why do you put a qualification on any people in this country? Why put that roadblock in front of them?
Yukon Surface Rights Board Act November 25th, 1994
Mr. Speaker, I listened with interest, especially to the commentary at the end. For years we have heard nothing but the abuse that native Indians suffered through the administration of the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development. This is part of the same government that helped set those laws in process.
Here it is telling us to trust it once again, to further a problem that is liable to occur and keep on occurring. This is beyond belief. It put a restriction in front of the natives in Yukon of only 50 per cent of the members on the board. Why can it not be 100 per cent? Why does this government automatically assume that only 50 per cent of the natives there are capable of making this decision and not 100 per cent of the natives?
This is put on by that side of the House. I could go on and say that to me this seems like a very racial hindrance.
