Madam Speaker, Tommy Douglas was from Saskatchewan. He was an amazing man, a man of God who valued people for the right reasons and did a good thing.
However, since then, I watched my province over the last years, prior to the current government forming power, being driven into the ground. There were no jobs. Out of six children on my side of the family and five on my husband's, everybody left the province but two because there was nothing there anymore. Now, fortunately, business is welcome and things are booming in spite of what is happening federally.
I would like to mention, and perhaps the member would like to comment on, the fact that in Saskatchewan, when the NDP had its convention, it requested that the federal NDP leader, in his lovely suits and lovely watches, not attend the convention.
