Mr. Speaker, I listened intently to the member. He has been valuable as industry critic in the past.
I listened to a number of items. One he mentioned was the contribution of members of the industry committee. Not only his party but all the parties debate intently and make a good contribution to the industry committee.
There was another item he mentioned that I would like better defined. I detected from the previous speaker's words that he would have hoped that the $250,000 limit would be reduced. We had a lot of discussion about this in committee but it was decided to maintain it at $250,000. Maybe he could clarify this item. Was it his hope that this $250,000 maximum be reduced or did I misunderstand his remarks?
