Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the comments of the hon. member from the NDP, but I did not hear a lot of relevance with respect to Bill C-41 on the Royal Canadian Mint.
The member alluded to and analysed the Saskatchewan government and how it has been very productive in the province of Saskatchewan. Since we are off on a tangent right now, would the member analyse the two provincial governments, the one of Bob Rae and perhaps the one of Glen Clark?
I understand they were both NDP governments that perhaps had problems with the issues of taxes and job loss and perhaps has a problem right now with a loss of confidence in the voters of those two particular provinces, particularly Bob Rae who unfortunately or fortunately for a lot of us no longer seems to be in the political sphere. Would the hon. member please analyse those two governments?
