They do not have to push because they know where the wheels are.
Hon. members on the other side do not seem to realize that all they have to do in actual fact is look at the most recent polls. Call me naive, but it looks like people are relatively happy with what is happening on this side of the House. Not just in Atlantic Canada where they are more than happy, but it looks like right across the country the approval rating for the Prime Minister and for this government is fairly high.
Now that cannot last forever and those of us who have a little experience in politics understand that. But the point is that you do not cut your cloth in policy on the government side of the House according to prevailing winds. You cut it according to what is best for Canadians, what is a tried and true policy, what is something that has been proven to work, and what is done in the judgment of a Prime Minister who has 30 years experience in this House of Commons and in every major portfolio in the Government of Canada.
That is the kind of policy and the kind of work and the kind of government Canadians want, deserve and have asked for. That is the kind of thing a number of the hon. members on the other side could certainly benefit from listening to. But again-
