[Dr. Cynic]

SPEAKER

Order!

Since there are MPs sitting currently, the floor is open. Motions to recognize?

[Dr. Cynic]

Mr. David Valentine

Certainly would my colleagues agree that there are other areas worth pursuing other than bridge construction. What about new high speed rail or the fixing and building of new highways. Certainly those ferryman would not be in imminent danger if we tackled such projects first and in the meantime we may come up with a suitable plan on how to compensate them later? 

[Dr. Cynic]

Mr David Valentine

I certainly agree with my colleagues about the need for this bridges, but I'm looking for a way we can make an effective compromise. Possibly giving those ferrymen temporary employment working on the bridges? This is a government effort and since they will be laid off, we should make it our responsibility to provide them either work or welfare. If we want to avoid putting them on unemployment, then why not try this?

[Dr. Cynic]

When will the Prime Minister announce the government appointments and when may we see the creation of a legislation thread?

[Dr. Cynic]

I suppose the Prime Minister will present a cabinet in due time.

He'd damn well better. We don't want to lose a confidence vote before we've even formed a government!

Well, if he's not going to do it, the party should pick someone who will. We can't wait forever.

[Dr. Cynic]

Indeed. It won't be long before a government is formed.

At least we're getting there.

[Dr. Cynic]

For the record, I have presented my ministry preferences to the Prime Minister. I am hopeful that a government will be formed soon.

I think by now everyone has.

[Dr. Cynic]

Mr. Speaker, I would like to rise today to draw the attention of the House to a communique from the United States government offering a new trade agreement. My office received overtures from their Ambassador that their country wished to offer free and unlimited trade with ours. I would respectfully like this item placed on the voting docket with a high priority.
