Mr. Speaker, what a pleasure it is to hear the speech from my colleague for Souris—Moose Mountain. Of course, both of our constituencies are named after the proud Souris River that flows from his constituency in the west into mine in the east, and it is a pleasure to have him as a neighbour.
As neighbours, we both have the same economies in our region. I would like the member for Souris—Moose Mountain to highlight just a little more about how terrible the Liberal government's policies over the last 10 years have been for affordability in our region, how they have suppressed our fertilizer industry, our natural resources industry and the ag sector, with disastrous policies that have resulted in tariffs on canola and the pulse crops from India, and what a disaster that has been for affordability measures in Souris—Moose Mountain and Brandon—Souris.
