Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for the question. I bring to his attention, however, that we are talking about vision and vision relates to the future. While we can learn from the past it is important to look to the future with hope; with great political will on both sides of the House, as he has suggested; with a tremendous amount of courage; and with a lot of sticking with it. I truly believe the Liberal government understands and will deliver.
The member talked about new approaches. That is what this is all about. As we go into our budget deliberations we certainly know that we need to do things in new and different ways.
We talked about leadership a little earlier. There was one suggestion that the Liberal government decides what it wants to do and does it. That is the old approach. The new approach is to talk to the stakeholders and talk to the people who pay the bills. That is where we get the wisdom. That is where we learn to understand the priorities of the people.
It is my view that what is in the red book is truly the priorities of Canadians. That is why the government was elected.
