Mr. Speaker, I will suggest through you that they may not think my remarks are particularly good.
I was interested in one of the comments made by the minister in response to a question from a member opposite. She said that their issue is for their short term political purposes. Just about everything they do in here is for their short term political purposes. The operative phrase should be short term. That is exactly what they do. They do not think in the bigger picture or in the long term about the consequences of some of their policies.
I like to think of them not so much as the Reform Party, but as the “ing” party because the Reform Party's three cornerstones are based on caning, whipping and hanging. Those are the solutions of the “ing” party.
