183 words · 10 sentences · 12 clauses

Replying to Pat Kelly (Conservative)

“Mr. Speaker, I really did enjoy the member’s speech. We have had to spend quite a bit of the day trying to debunk some of what we have heard from the other side. Would the member like to take an additional minute or two to walk them through the difference between a sovereign wealth fund, where governments invest wealth that is accumulated from surplus, and simply tacking on another $25 billion to the national credit card?”

This view breaks the statement into its steps and names what each one does.

Mr. Speaker, Procedure · 7 wordsI appreciate the comment and the opportunity.Procedure Anecdote · 62 wordsI will walk them through it the way my wife and I would walk through budgeting at home. We have three kids, ¹and we want to make sure that money is put away for their education. There is only so much money at the end of the day, when groceries are getting higher and the kids are getting bigger and eating more.Anecdote Reasoning · 50 wordsIf we want to put money away to make sure that they get an education, we have to look at cutting spending in other areas. Then we would have a surplus, extra money to put away for our kids’ education. This is not being done with the sovereign debt fund.² Claims · 7 wordsThe Liberals are piling debt upon debt. Anecdote · 47 wordsIf we did that in my household, instead of actually finding the money to put away for my kids’ education, I would put it on my credit card, and my kids would be left with a student loan and then a credit card bill at the end.Anecdote Claims · 10 wordsThat is what taxpayers are going to be left with.
