Mr. Speaker, this gives me a chance to redo my speech, but I am sure you will not allow me to do that.
In Prince Edward Island we feel left out. With respect to the economic policies of the government, they seems to relate to the oil sands and economies that are blessed with natural resources. We are in a situation where we are being overlooked and social programs are being gutted. The civil service, which is extremely important to us, is being reduced at a rate greater than the national average.
We would like to remind the government that we are still a province. Regions should be treated fairly. There should not be this income inequality between individuals or between regions in the country.
