Mr. Speaker, as the Liberal's western task force prepares for its great expedition to British Columbia, here is a brief history lesson to assist them.
Prior to this government's election, B.C. used to have an army base, a fact that appears to have escaped the Secretary of State for the Status of Women.
Prior to this government's election, B.C. used to have a fishing industry, a fact that appears to have escaped the more aptly named minister of “no more” fisheries.
Prior to this government's election, B.C. used to have a softwood lumber industry, a fact that appears to have escaped the Minister of Heritage as her misguided Bill C-55 threatens to further decimate the industry.
Finally, prior to this government's election, B.C. used to have a booming economy that the federal government sucked billions of tax dollars out of. The boom is gone but the Liberals, well, they still suck.
