Mr. Speaker, as someone who has 24 or 25 years of parliamentary experience and who has been in a provincial legislature that deals with the administration of many different areas, including health and safety, I like to think I have plenty of experience.
That does not necessarily mean that because of that specific experience I am the best person for the job. Quite often it is the individuals we work with who empower us to make the decisions necessary to get the job done. That is what we should be trying to achieve.
I have seen some pretty questionable characters who had plenty of years of experience. Just because they had the experience does not mean they were the best. Someone could have a lot of experience but be worth very little.
