Mr. Speaker, Claims · 28 words we have a statute mile, a geographical mile, the U.S. survey mile, an admiralty mile, a nautical mile, a data mile, 1 and tactical mile.2 The list goes on. Anecdote · 14 words As a former navigator, I understand the importance of efficiency, standardizing and updating measurements. Anecdote Thanks · 9 words I thank the member opposite for her impassioned speech. Thanks Procedure · 12 words I have weighed her comments, pardon the pun, and measured them closely. Procedure The question · 41 words My question though is, after seeing so many scandals, wasted money and inefficiencies with other Liberal bills, what protections are in this bill to ensure that Canadians do not see increased prices or increased costs and to prevent money being wasted?
