Mr. Speaker, the member suggested at the opening of his speech that Reform members of Parliament have no business experience.
The popularity of Reform stems from the fact that we are in touch with ordinary Canadians and with small business owners. We are in touch with the people who take risks and are burdened by big government policies. Many Reform members have a lot of business experience. Prior to entering politics I owned four businesses and employed over 20 people.
How many businesses has the hon. career politician from Regina—Lumsden—Lake Centre operated?
