Mr. Speaker, I thoroughly enjoyed my colleague's speech. As we all know, this is about the Bloc Quebecois seeking security under the wing of the mother hen of the U.S. dollar. We all know that it is not a hen, it is actually an eagle.
Two examples have been used today of countries that have sought the protection of the U.S. dollar, Puerto Rico and Liberia. I know my colleague is a very quick study. He has proved that by the fact that he developed that wonderful speech in a relatively short time. I know he follows the economy of Africa with great interest.
Liberia is a country which long ago took the U.S. dollar. It moved under the protection of the U.S. dollar.
I am wondering if my colleague has any thoughts on whether the people of Liberia feel they have been better off under the protection of the U.S. dollar these many years. Has the Liberian economy become better or worse in his view?
