Mr. Speaker, I am beginning to understand why the member has so few hairs on his head. He has split them so often in the debates in this House that he only has a few left. If he really wants to have his feet on the ground and not be out in space, I suggest that he keep the hair he has left by focussing his remarks on the real issues.
He has raised no real issues here. Look at what took place in the committee of which he is a member. The proof in committee was that we will now save $700 million in subsidies to businesses in the maritimes, $140 million of which will be in the retail sector alone.
These are all benefits to consumers, finally. This is what it means to have your feet on the ground, to be realistic and to look out for the interests of consumers in this country. I suggest to the hon. member that he look at benefits to consumers in this country instead of looking at the world through the rose coloured glasses of his party on the ski slopes of Quebec.
