Mr. Speaker, we often hear that the three levels of government are supposed to do the very best job they can within the realm of their responsibilities. I agree with my colleague's comments regarding criticizing other ministers of finance in other provinces. If the current Minister of Finance wants to become leader of the Conservative Party in Ontario, then he should step down, go there and take over that job. However, for him to stand here and rather than concentrate on how we can make Ontario stronger and better, to bash Ontario and try to take out investment is totally uncalled for. He should be ashamed of what he has already done.
