Mr. Speaker, I thank the Leader of the Opposition for the shout-out during his speech. I will say that of all of the leaders of political parties here, he spends a lot of time talking about me. It is very flattering and truly a compliment.
We are a good half an hour into this debate now. The member for Banff—Airdrie stood and spoke about the problems. He was asked a very direct question by the NDP, which I really appreciated. He was asked what he would do about it, and he did not answer the question. Then the Leader of the Opposition stood for 10 minutes and talked about the problem as he sees it, but he did not offer any kind of solution.
Maybe I will give the Leader of the Opposition an opportunity to answer the question that the member from the NDP asked, which is this: What would he do differently? He should not tell us about the plans, he should tell us what he would actually do to deal with the situation.
