Economic Action Plan 2013 Act, No. 2   riding of Medicine Hat. That is a good thing. Economic action plan 2013 continues to build on what we have already worked on for some time with continuing investments in world-class research and innovation. One of the most important items contained in the plan is that we would

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Sure, that's fine. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
