Madam Speaker, I guess I see the actual motion as a bit of a distraction from the important issue of the day which is that Canadians are seeing their standard of living eroded. We see the government coming up with trumped up, very feeble arguments as to why that is somehow a good thing and the way to attract business.
I would hate to see the debate get off track and get away from that when the government has something to account for. That is why I am not really opposed to having the discussion but opposed to having any amount of emphasis put on it at this time. It may be a discussion for somewhere down the road.
There is no magic bullet to fixing this problem. There is no single solution that will fix it. The best way to address the issue of a weak currency is to ensure that Canadian business and investment is competitive. The way to do that is to start to cut taxes and pay down debt. That is the way to address this.
