Mr. James Moore (Port
Moody—Westwood-Port Coquitlam, CPC):
Mr. Speaker, a new poll shows that western
alienation, particularly in British
Columbia, is on a steep decline and with
good reason. Housing prices are up.
Unemployment is way down, under 5%, British
Columbia is booming and our Conservative
government is doing more for B.C. than any
government in a generation.
We have a softwood lumber agreement. We have
given our full support to the 2010 Olympics.
We have hired more fisheries enforcement
officers. We are investing in British
Columbia: $171 million in public transit,
$450 million into the Canada Line, $400
million for the mountain pine beetle, $101
million for border security. It goes on and
on. And we have 29 different tax reductions
that will create more jobs and keep British
Columbia growing.
British Columbians have waited for a long
time, for a prime minister to listen to our
needs. Finally we have one who delivers.
