Madam Speaker, Thanks · 19 words I must say that I am somewhat inspired by the last 50 words or so from the member opposite. Thanks Positioning · 27 words I, too, want to make sure we have an economy that is humming and that works for all Canadians. Vague promise We share that, and I genuinely believe it. Positioning Off point The question · 26 words Having said that, does the member already have some amendments in mind he has been working on that he would like to share with the House? The ask · 22 words If he does not, I would encourage him to share them with the ministry even before the bill ultimately goes to committee. Reasoning · 12 words I find that it is very helpful when a member does that.
