Mr. Speaker, I like the idea of quoting Canadians. I might quote the B.C. minister of health, Penny Priddy, who said “I would give the Minister of Finance a seven, perhaps higher, for the budget”. For her part, B.C. finance minister Joy MacPhail said “It is a good budget”.
This is welcome news for us. We can now join together and address the problems of the health care system.
The only question is: Why does the NDP in Saskatchewan and the NDP in British Columbia understand what a good budget it is but the NDP here does not.
