Mr. Speaker, I do agree with one thing the member said. It would be nice if we had some intelligent debate in this place because we are certainly not getting it from the NDP.
I would like to remind people that, in its policy manual, the NDP said that it would like to improve the public sector's role as a wealth creator and major provider of jobs. NDP members want a command economy that is completely out of step with the modern world. The other thing they are very good at is wedge politics and fear-mongering.
The Exxon Valdez is how the member started his speech. The Exxon Valdez was a single hull tanker. There has been no double hull tanker in the world that has had a spill in the last 50 years.
I would like to hear the member comment on those observations.
