Hubris

From today's proceedings in the Bow-Wow Parliament, the hon. the Member for Placentia and St. Mary's:

MR. [FELIX] COLLINS: Mr. Speaker, I do sympathize very much with the Opposition this year, because they have a formidable task in trying to find any holes in the fiscal policies of this government.

I was told when I came into this House - and I am beginning to understand it as I sit through the House - that it would be great training for everybody, at some time or other, to spend time in Opposition. It would be good political training to spend time in the Opposition. Several people on this side have done that, and I can see the benefits of it. I, unfortunately, haven’t had the chance to do that and it is highly unlikely, Mr. Speaker, that I will.
