Mr. Speaker, some of the comments my hon. colleague made during her speech I found to be somewhat inflammatory and almost offensive.
What this member was trying to convey was that since we are the government, we have the luxury of being there right now, that everything is good in our economy and that everything that has gone wrong in the past is the Tories' fault.
One of the reasons we have the growth in the last number of years is that we have an export driven economy compliments of free trade in the 1988 election. I think she might remember that election because those members actually opposed free trade.
Second, the government likes to take a lot of credit for all the jobs it created. Two-thirds of the jobs created in this country were created in Ontario by the government of Mike Harris.
