Mr. Speaker, the united alternative conference was a smashing success and if we want proof, look at all the howling yesterday from worried Ontario Liberal MPs.
Fifteen hundred delegates from every province have risen up and returned to their ridings to begin the work of saving our country from big government and judicial activism.
Unfortunately every noble revolution has its martyrs. Paul Barnes, the president of Nova Scotia's PC youth, has been expelled from the PC party because he chose to come to the UA with an open mind.
Two other bright young Atlantic Canadians, Kevin Lacey and Clinton Deveaux, have felt the heat too. Barnes, Lacey and Deveaux were among 300 young people from coast to coast attending the conference.
Young Canadians need a government that will lower their taxes. They need a criminal justice system that will protect them, not the criminals.
I salute Paul Barnes, Clinton Desveaux and Kevin Lacey for having the courage and the conviction to help build a better Canada.
