Mr. Speaker, I will gladly do that. In the spirit of non-partisanship, I will gladly bring colleagues beer.
I guess that is in Hansard now, forever. They can quote me. That is okay.
Let us talk about the laughable economic policies of the NDP for a minute. I have a list.
The facts of life are Conservative: free markets work, deficit reduction works, merit-based societies work, private property works, economic freedom works, free trade works, and wealth creation is critical to fund social programs.
What is the NDP's toxic ideology? Its members do not support free markets, they are suspicious of private property, and their cure for everything is more spending. They think we can spend ourselves rich. They are suspicious of business people and entrepreneurs and they thrive on a culture of envy. A dirty little secret about the New Democrats is that they want people to become dependent on government because they think it is in their own political interest.
With that, I will sit down and take questions.
