Mr. Speaker, if Ontario were in an economic nosedive and heading into a recession, the Liberals would declare a national emergency. If central Canada's unemployment rate had jumped one-half of 1% in a month, the Liberal cabinet would be in an emergency session.
Those nightmares are coming true in B.C. and the Prime Minister does not even have a briefing note on British Columbia. All he can say is “we gave you the APEC conference instead of giving it to Toronto”. Thank you very little.
Why is it that the government never treats British Columbia issues as genuine national issues?
