Madam Speaker, in his speech, my colleague mentioned that he was concerned about our government's lack of clear direction.
However, as a new member, I can say that the direction has been very clear since the election campaign. Our platform is crystal clear. The first subsection of the platform, entitled “One Canadian Economy”, talks about a plan to build the strongest economy in the G7, to create one Canadian economy, not 13, and to remove all barriers to internal trade. The second subsection talks about nation-building projects.
What is surprising about this? The direction we were going to take was written in black and white in our platform.
