Mr. Speaker, I hate to let the member for Mississauga South off the hook that easily. He has not given a complete speech. I would like to have his comments on a couple of the items that were mentioned by the member for Kings—Hants and the member for North Vancouver.
The member for North Vancouver has indicated how bad the Canadian dollar is and that his native country, New Zealand, is so much better because of its political system. Actually this afternoon a New Zealand dollar can be bought for 65 cents Canadian, so that should be on the record. The actual parliamentary system in New Zealand has almost collapsed because of MMP.
I wonder if the member for Mississauga South could comment on the assault right now on the Canadian public and the almost misleading advertising from the foreign nationals that are trying to come in here, the foreign banks, Bank One and so forth. They are assaulting Canadians with massive credit card applications. Almost nothing is required to get on the list. The lists are sold to them by veterinary clinics and all kinds of organizations.
My dog received an application for a MasterCard. I am sorry to say my dog probably has a better credit rating than I do. I sure hope there is never a big sale at the dog food store.
Could the member for Mississauga South comment on those items?
