Resumption of Debate on Address in Reply  Mr. Speaker, my colleague and I sat on the agriculture committee together and his numbers are not quite correct.

The Economy  Mr. Speaker, I was raised on a farm where I learned the value of money and the importance of financial planning. With every budget the Liberals put out, they continue to add billions of dollars to our national debt. This is not budgeting, this is reckless spending. There are now

Rail Transportation  Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister's weakness is costing Canada's economy once again.
