One of the members says hear, hear. He is very proud of it.
The concept under which this government runs is a terrible example of what is wrong with this country. If we take situations like in my riding where I ran and handily beat the Liberal candidate, what does the Liberal government turn around and do? He wins. It offers him a position with the Canada Development Corporation. If he runs again against me and when he loses, what is he going to get? He will go up to the next plumb, perhaps a harbours board job. Maybe a Senate seat, but those usually go to people who flunk out here.
I will be back tomorrow to talk about patronage. I know they do not like to hear what I say, but I will leave them with this. Economic dependence, which is the philosophy of this government, ensures political dependence. That is another reason this Liberal government must be defeated the next time around.
