Mr. Speaker, I think the myopic viewpoint just put across clearly indicates a lack of understanding. I can appreciate that the hon. member had ample security. My point very simply is that there are thousands of Canadians who do not. They have no opportunity to put up that ample security and this program ensures that they will have access to capital.
I take some exception to being referred to as an Ottawa politician. My roots go very deep in the community, very deep in the small business community and very deep at the municipal level in the city of Mississauga.
The member should speak about the little bit of what he knows and a little less of that nonsensical rhetoric.
