Mr. Speaker, I can see that the Deputy Prime Minister is following his leader with more pie in the sky, because the reality is that when mad cow disease or SARS hits the U.S. or any other G-8 country, we see their governments go right into action.
That is not the case here in Canada. There is not a penny for the hurting hospitality workers in Toronto, nor for the meat workers in Alberta or Saskatchewan.
I wonder, will the Prime Minister be bragging about that at the G-8, or has he already forgotten these people in his quest for international glory?
