Mr. Speaker, Canada is at a crossroads. We face a profound crisis in the unity of our nation.
I vigorously seek for all politicians to return to the people's agenda instead of the political agenda. The political agenda in Ottawa seeks central power; the people's agenda services closer to home; the political agenda, decisions made by cabinet insiders; the people, decisions made by free votes that express their will; political, big expensive regulatory bureaucracies; people, the minimum intrusion that is possible; political, government will look after our needs; people, leave the tools in our hands and we will do just fine.
The crossroads for Canada looms before us. I am optimistic and enthusiastic. The people always prevail.
