Mr. Speaker, I listened with great interest to the dissertation of the hon. Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Finance. He is a very influential person within the finance committee. He sits at the right hand of the Minister of Finance. Would this not then set fear into the hearts of the innocent when they wonder where is the plan?
It is not like these people came here yesterday. They were in opposition for nine years. They were the architects of the disaster we are living in today trying to get elected 35 years ago. They have had one year of power and what have they accomplished? Absolutely nothing.
The Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Finance stands there and says: "Well, what are your ideas? You are trying to smoke us out". They are going to get our ideas in black and white but they are going to get them after they finally put theirs on paper, finally.
What we have here are the Liberals in a new olympic Liberal sport: low hurdles. You set the hurdle low enough and you can crawl over it, which is about what they are doing. They are not going to wear themselves out jumping over high hurdles; they are going to wear themselves out tripping over low hurdles.
I ask the parliamentary secretary who has given us a litany of the 47 things they have consulted on so far to tell me one specific thing they have accomplished. Not the 47 they have talked about, just one they have accomplished.
