Elizabeth May, MP for Saanich—Gulf Islands: Mr. Speaker, I had not intended to give a Caesar-like speech. We are not burying the member. I am tempted, of course, as ever, to praise him because we are friends.
I do not think the hon. member for Battle River—Crowfoot will be gone long from this place, and I do not know if the official residence of Stornoway is now found within the borders of Battle River—Crowfoot, but I am sure that all things will be revealed. I hope the member for Battle River—Crowfoot will be back here.
I want to ask him a question, very briefly, because it is my first time taking the floor today. The hon. member for Calgary Centre pointed out how many Conservative ideas are in this Speech from the Throne. I think it could have been a Speech from the Throne from a Conservative government. I wonder if the member for Battle River—Crowfoot will be tempted to vote for it.
Damien Kurek, MP for Battle River—Crowfoot: Mr. Speaker, my colleague’s remarks, and especially our work at the National Prayer Breakfast together, have always been something I have appreciated. In the interim, I look forward to being able to spend a bit more time in a tractor cab.
The one thing about being in a tractor cab is that it does not heckle, but like government, it requires maintenance, fuel and direction; it requires everything. If we do not take care of it, it breaks down, and we have to call the mechanic. Do members know who I think the best mechanic to fix our country is? I can say to my friends that his name is Pierre Poilievre, the leader of the Conservatives.
