Mr. Speaker, I am shocked the member opposite did not state that I was right, like far right, even more right.
An adage I have from when I was working in the field in the oil and gas industry is that, as one of the engineering staff, “The engineer is here, and he is here to help” was the biggest fallacy and joke in the system. A more poignant adage is “I am from the government. I am here to help and I am going to make it better.” That never happens.
I think the fundamental disconnect is that the government needs to get out of the way of private industry doing what it does best, which is, make the economy better.
