Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the question from the member for Brandon—Souris. He always has some great questions and I think this is a pretty good one.
I can only speak about things that I am familiar with. For example, I know that the NDP government in Saskatchewan did not send anybody to jail, whereas the Reform-Tory coalition sent 18 to jail. That is one example. I guess it is not very good.
The Bob Rae government did not send anybody to jail from its caucus. The Reform-Tory coalition in Saskatchewan sent about 17 or 18 to jail. I may be off by about one or two but it is approximate.
As for the NDP government in British Columbia, none of its officials are in jail, at least yet. The Tories and the Reform in Saskatchewan sent 17 or 18 Tory and Reform MLAs to jail. I guess I can only compare what I know. To me that seems to be somewhat balanced.
I know the NDP in Ontario had a bit of a rough ride. The member for Brandon—Souris would appreciate this immensely because he is the member of a party that had a rough ride in 1993 in Canada. They went from government to two members. He can relate to the anxiousness and the anxiety of the NDP in Ontario.
If we look at the polls the NDP is doing very well across the country. We are leading the polls in Saskatchewan. We are leading the polls in Nova Scotia. We are leading the polls in Manitoba. That is three provinces. We have a government in Yukon. In British Columbia we have two more years to go, and I am very confident the NDP in that province will rebound.
