Some mess, Madam Speaker. The OECD consistently rated Canada as having the best economy in the world under our government.
I was part of the minority government for a little while, back in the day of the so-called deficits the member talked about. We heard a lot of whining from the Liberals and the NDP in those minority years. Their basic complaint was that we did not spend enough.
Paul Wells wrote an article in NewswatchCanada. In a quick summary, he said that in this government's first 100 days,
some patterns have been set; Ministers talk to media anonymously, afraid to be quoted; trouble abounds and surrounds; from free-falling oil to terrorism, to shots in feet, the Liberal Govt faces both external and self-inflicted woes.
Has the government melted down so fast in so short a time? I do not think so.
