Mr. Speaker, normally my colleague from Acadie—Bathurst hangs on every word I say in debate, so I am surprised that he did not listen to what I had to say in the main body of my speech. I said we met with the Premier of Saskatchewan.
The premier and I have known each other as friends for over 25 years. As all my colleagues from the Saskatchewan side would know, we consulted with Premier Wall extensively, as we did with his ministers. For the member opposite to suggest otherwise shows how ill-informed he is. Frankly, the approach he is taking is one of partisanship rather than benefit to the nation.
