Mr. Speaker, I find it fascinating that the member for Kings—Hants talks about moving quickly after eight years of the NDP-Liberal coalition's sitting on its hands. It is really strange that, after his door knocking and his fear of losing his seat, now he has to lambast everybody he can in trying to become a champion of Nova Scotia. He is talking out of both sides of his mouth. He talked about the gun registry he said he would oppose, and when the vote came, what did he do? He abstained. Wow, what a great supporter this guy is. The other thing that is very clear is that when we begin to understand the tidal project in the great riding of Cumberland—Colchester, we start to understand there is a business there called Sustainable Marine Energy. I really wonder whether the member for Kings—Hants went and talked to the leadership of Sustainable Marine, because what Sustainable Marine said was that it is the first project out there putting electricity back into the grid. It had no fish kills, no hits and no threatening markers at all, and what did the Liberal-NDP government do? Absolutely nothing. It gave no direction and allowed a project that is clean and green to actually be demolished. It is sad.

Madam Speaker, when we look at things in the House of Commons, the Liberal government has done absolutely nothing after eight years. We have had eight years of increased wait times, eight years of no access to primary care and eight years of refusing to transfer $4.5 billion through the Canada mental health transfer, which the Liberals created themselves. We have had eight years of inaction. We have had eight years of increasing burnout among the people whom I spoke very passionately about. We do not have slogans over here. I do not think I said one slogan in my entire speech. I think the other very important thing we need to understand is that we need to do something about this. This is a crisis. We need leadership, and on this side of the House, that is what we have. We have leadership. We have ideas. We do not need to give the government our ideas. We need to oppose the absolute inanity of the ideas it has when it brings them forth and they are not going to serve Canadians. That is our job. I understand that the parliamentary secretary does not like that or does not understand it, but our job over here is to stand up for Canadians and oppose the crazy ideas members on that side of the House have.
