Mr. Speaker, I will be brief. First, there would not be much point in setting up a commission and going to all the trouble that this government has to study that very specific issue and then simply ignoring it in a knee-jerk reaction.
We have heard the Prime Minister and the Minister of Finance say there will be no merger approval and we want to see that report before any discussion about whether or not such an activity will take place.
I heard the NDP member for Kamloops say he supported the increase in the RESP contribution from $2,000 for $4,000. He thought that was good. He supported a number of other issues in Bill C-28. Yet at the same time I could not quite believe that he went on to denigrate the economy. He said that our economy is not strong. He referred to the hon. parliamentary secretary as referring to some other country in his imagination when he talked about a country with a strong economy.
Our economy is strong and it can get stronger and it will get stronger by all of us working together.
