Mr. Speaker, I listened carefully to the hon. member opposite. I would like to share with him what has happened in my constituency in the last 10 years.
If we were to ask people if the roads are better today than they were 10 years ago, the answer would be no. If we were to ask if agriculture was rosy, if the future looked bright and there was as much money as there was 10 years ago, the answer would be no. The number 1 highway that runs through my constituency still remains a two lane highway. With respect to grain transportation, the government removed the crow rate which means that my son-in-law now hauls his grain 90 miles to the terminal.
If the member were to come to my constituency, he would see that there is no joy in Mudville.
