I see my colleague opposite, in his anger, has not yet begun to pay attention to what is happening. If he would wait I am sure he would get an opportunity to speak in due course. That is a rule of the House.
The tone of the debate seems to be heading toward divisiveness and the fostering the divisiveness in the country that we are all trying to correct.
As a result of what the member for Medicine Hat just said in the House, does he agree with the following two points?
First, the House of Commons has a fundamental role when a country is as big as Canada. Some areas are more productive than others. Should we as a federal state be responsible for the distribution of the wealth in order to look after people living in certain regions who are not as fortunate to have the same natural resources as perhaps the people in his province?
Second, he talked about the surplus and a tax dividend. Should we not first be looking at improving health care, improving the educational system and improving the transportation system? Are they not the best places to put our funds?
