Mr. Speaker, Claims · 6 words that is just one data point. Positioning · 59 words That said, I will not defend the government. Things seem grim over there, and there is not as much spending as we would like to see to stimulate all sectors of our economy, particularly local ones. I think a broader perspective is called for—a vision, even. I am sure my colleague feels that the government’s current proposal lacks vision. Positioning Partly on point Reasoning · 20 words The way I see it, creating a sovereign wealth fund without actually having the money suggests a lack of vision. Positioning · 44 words They have no idea what they are trying to achieve, but they want to look good. It is meaningless. It is basically the same thing. What are they trying to accomplish? How are they going to fix the situation? What is the government’s vision? Positioning Off point Reasoning · 8 words Maybe that explains the figures we are seeing, Positioning · 10 words but I hope this does not become a bad habit. Positioning Partly on point
