Mr. Speaker, I disagree strongly with my Liberal colleague, who is trying to sweep Liberal involvement in the current crisis under the rug.
I can understand that in 1995 the Liberals had their own reasons for privatizing CN, although I do not think the Canadian public came out on the winning side.
The Liberals, however, had until 2006 to solve the problems that are still haunting the railways, both CN and CP, and they did nothing.
What do they have to say? Will they still say that privatization justified the crisis they created over 11 years?
I repeat: the privatization took place in 1995 but they had until 2006 and they did nothing.
