I thank the member for his comments. Chair of the public accounts committee—and I won’t be on the committee anymore; as a result, it’ll run much more efficiently going forward than it did before.

I was very interested in the member’s detailed description of what it’s like being in government, and I was taking notes. It was very effective description of the government. Then, I realized, wait a minute, he’s not in government—and may never be. But I want to react to the comment about being powerless, because it got me thinking about what we’ve done here—

Here is what we’ve done. Infrastructure: $70 billion in transit, $185 billion overall; jobs: 700,000 jobs in this mandate; nurses, comment on nurses, we’ve hired 17,000 last year; on, on and on. Far from powerless, Madam Speaker. I think that’s a very powerful agenda that all of us on this side of the House are proud to be a part of. Wouldn’t you agree and therefore want to support the bill?
