Scott Anderson Conservative
“We talk about cutting rules, but ordinary people worry about their paycheques and mortgages. I want this bill to help them, but I doubt it will.”
“Mr. Speaker, as I was saying before, I think we treat this as an abstract problem. We use big words, and we talk about how we are going to cut regulation and do all these things. Very few of us live in the real world as we work in the House. We do not have to worry about a paycheque. We do not have to worry about a mortgage. We do not sit around the kitchen table worrying about the future as people outside the House do. What we talk about in the abstract are real bread-and-butter problems out there. I would like the bill to actually make a difference. I just do not have very high hopes for it.”
