Mr. Speaker, I have a question for my friend.
I very much liked my hon. colleague's speech. I thought he did very well, especially in the first half of it.
I would like him to expand a little more on the paternalism that we saw in the budget. We could be excused for thinking that the Prime Minister might want to be a premier of a province after reading the budget. He is getting involved in the jurisdictions of our provinces, and I would like the hon. member to give us his insights on this topic.
