Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the member opposite's continuing to affirm that we are correct when we say the Liberal government does not have a vision for the strength and independence of communities and families. Rather, it continues to present federal government dependency as a solution to the very economic problems that have been created under Liberal leadership over the last decade.
One would think that the member just showed up but, as he mentioned, he has been a politician since 1988. I was a one-year-old when he first got elected. With every problem that has been created in the last decade, the government positioned itself as a solution, not seeing the irony in this vicious, weird cycle and vortex of bad public policy.
