Mr. Speaker, as the parliamentary secretary may know, I spent nine long years leading a non-partisan think tank practice in the public debate, before arriving in this chamber.
I have never had a problem debating the facts of things that hurt our country's economic potential, here in the chamber or anywhere in the country.
I appreciate his challenge, but there is an opportunity for the parliamentary secretary. He has the chance to be a minister of the Liberal Party of Canada. He has a chance to be a minister for this Prime Minister. Here is an opportunity for him to perform as best as he can in this chamber and win the good graces of the Prime Minister in his dying days of the government and speak on behalf of the government as a member of the Cabinet.
