Madam Speaker, the member from the New Democratic Party who just spoke talked about selling out the country and American ownership. I would suggest that if we want to slow down the Americans who are buying Canadian companies, we do it by pursuing fiscal policy that will cause the dollar to increase. The dollar is at an artificially low level and that certainly does make it very easy for Americans to buy us out instead of Canadians buying their own companies. I would like the member to comment on that. That is the way to have Canadians buy Canadian companies and keep Canadian ownership: through pursuing proper fiscal policy, which will cause the dollar to increase.
Further though, the member opposite talks about the Canadian Alliance wanting to privatize everything and having that type of policy. I say that is not true. In fact, we have an example today of where we do not support the government, which talks about privatizing the administration of the Firearms Act and privatizing the enforcement, if we can believe it, of the Firearms Act. That is completely unreasonable. I do not support it and my party does not support that kind of policy. It is a crazy policy. It is a taking privatization to the extreme. I would like the member to comment on that.
