Mr. Speaker, first, my hon. friend notes that the New Democrats are agreeing with the Progressive Conservatives on this motion. I suspect that probably everybody in the House basically agrees with the motion. However, because of the nature of our parliamentary system, the government has to be somewhat more hesitant to agree and opposition parties more enthusiastic, but that does not occur on all motions.
I also think it is fair to say that as a classic Progressive Conservative and as a classic social democratic we probably find more in common than we find in difference, unlike our Liberal friends across the way. Quite frankly, I do not know what a Liberal is, but I will simply say that it is not a Conservative or a social democratic and whatever is left over can be Liberal, depending on the nature of the times.
Yes, I agree with my friends. I would challenge my Liberal colleagues opposite to identify anybody who would suggest we should not have a shipbuilding strategy for our country.
