Mr. Speaker, what I do not agree with is the foolish representation of those views by the hon. member for Edmonton North.
If the hon. member had the faintest understanding of what she is talking about, she would be standing in shame and saying that she regrets that she voted against support for research and development in the private sector. She would say she is sorry that she has not put a focus on the lack of training in Canadian firms. She would say she understands the years of Tory governments that she supported ran up a debt load that is still burdening this country.
Those are the real causes behind Canada's productivity challenge.
