Mr. Chair, it is always a pleasure to rise on behalf of the people of Kamloops—Thompson—Nicola.
I would like to thank my learned colleague for an excellent speech. In fact, if anyone wants to know the Liberal attitude toward this, I was sitting in the House during question period, and the President of the Treasury Board laughed when we were speaking about mill closures in B.C. He essentially said that we were making it up.
Shame on him. He should be made to apologize. I wish every single Liberal here who has their head down in shame would acknowledge and denounce this, but they will not. One of them is laughing right now. What riding is he from?
It is the member for Calgary Confederation. I welcome him to the House. He has certainly made a name for himself in a short time, laughing at mill closures. Shame on him. He should apologize right here, right now.
