Mr. Speaker, the member might be somewhat misinformed on what the NDP actually does stand for once it gets into government at the provincial level. He might be surprised of the inequities and how profound the NDP is, particularly, in a province like British Columbia. It used to be fourth among Canadian provinces in terms of inequity on income redistribution. Then in 10 years it brought it to the worst in Canada.
In Manitoba the NDP had seven different reductions of corporate taxes and gloated that it wanted to do more. I do not think the NDP owns any holy ground on this issue.
Does the member not believe there is a role for the House of Commons to play? We saw a bit of that role when a motion passed a couple of years ago on the need for us to come up with some tangible ideas on how we could come back
Could the member provide us one tangible policy today that would have a positive impact and which the NDP would support, one that will not contradict something that one of its NDP cousins at the provincial level has done?
