Madam Speaker, I appreciate the comments of the hon. member. I would like to fill him in a bit in that I know something about Russian history too. Those are my roots. My great-grandfather fourth removed negotiated the land deal with Catherine the Great for the Mennonites to move to the Soviet Union. I know what a prosperous country can look like. That country was the land of milk and honey as far as the Mennonite people were concerned at that time. They prospered tremendously but corruption and mismanagement set into the Czarist regime and finally some of the people started immigrating to the United States.
In 1874, when the first Mennonite people came to the United States, they brought new strains of wheat along with them which were used pretty well until the 1930s. That was a prosperous country but now it has turned around. Through mismanagement they have lost everything. This is what Reform is really worried about, that this not happen to our country. That is why we are concerned that we have decent management, that we look after the wealth, and that we share it with other people.
