Mr. Speaker, despite all the partisanship in the House, I enjoy being able to find common ground, which is why I particularly enjoyed the comments of my comrade, the member for Calgary Nose Hill, who talked about rent-seeking. The member would know that rent-seeking is the practice of manipulating public policy or economic conditions to produce profit, and we know that comes at the cost of consumers.
I would invite my comrade from Calgary Nose Hill, with great socialist rhetoric, to please further expand on why rent-seeking in a crony capitalist economy only impacts and further harms consumers.
