Mr. Speaker, was I mistaken or did I hear the member for Athabasca say that the governing party was largely an urban based party? Did I hear that correctly? If I did, do I have to remind the hon. member that the government has probably more rural based members than the official opposition. I suggest the hon. member take a look at the province of Ontario and what rural members have accomplished in that province.
I realize the member for Athabasca resents the ethanol biomass program. However, I would point out that if he makes a speech that is on record and goes to the people of his constituency, he should put it in the proper perspective.
