Yes, a casino was included as one factor in the equation. It was only 2 per cent of it. Last week some municipal politicians were saying that we are too aggressive in our actions in trying to get this project going. I do not know how you can be too aggressive in trying to put people to work, especially when you come from a city where there are close to 400,000 out of work.
That deals with my final point. We as members of Parliament have to understand the sense of urgency that Canadians feel. It is something that we really must address.
I know that in the private sector when times are tough you work two shifts a day. Sometimes you work six or seven days a week. Not only in this government but at all levels of government we should possibly consider setting up a public service
arrangement where they work two shifts a day, seven days a week, not unlike the way members of Parliament work.
