Mr. Speaker, it seems odd to me that two government representatives are causing disorder in the House this morning. I do not think that they are setting a good example. I find it rather odd that two government representatives are causing disorder by talking and preventing us from speaking.
My question for my colleague is this. All along the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence River, many smaller ports are clamouring for CBSA container clearance services. Unfortunately, the budget provides no funds for CBSA officers to clear containers at small ports like Valleyfield.
Given the current economic situation, does my colleague think it is right for the government to put the brakes on economic development in small rural regions that have small ports in their communities?
