Mr. Speaker, that was the most ridiculous speech I have ever heard in this place.
Frankly, what it shows is that Edward Blake is still pulling the strings over there. We wonder how much influence he really has. Maybe Stéphane Dion is really behind all the things this government is doing. We do not know for sure. They are sitting around a table somewhere, and who knows.
In all seriousness, I do wish the member well with his post-parliamentary career after the election. It sounds like he is interested in pursuing a future in Ontario provincial politics. We have had cases before of people elected in Manitoba who have moved to Ontario to run. Maybe he is positioning for that.
In the midst of all the bluster, all of the exaggeration and outright fabrication, I have one simple question for the member. When will the bloody budget be balanced?
