A mandate from Don Mills

From today's sorry proceedings in the Bow-Wow Parliament.

MR. MARSHALL: I was pleased to see that the people of this Province were very proud of the vision of the Williams* government and were very supportive of the investments we have made to date. You only have to look at the recent public surveys just to see how pleased people are with the exceptional work that is being done, led by the Premier of this Province.


MR. WISEMAN: Since we formed government in 2003, Mr. Chair, just look at what the people of Newfoundland and Labrador have been saying. They have said it in an election in 2003, they have said it in an election in 2007, they have said in it by-elections since that time, and they say it in public opinion polls

[…]

Mr. Chair, not only – the people of Newfoundland and Labrador, the members of this House just should not take my word for that, just look at what elections have said, just look at what opinion polls have said. They have clearly, they have clearly endorsed the policy decisions of this government. They have clearly endorsed the sound leadership being provided by our Premier. They clearly endorsed the fiscal platform of this government, because I say, Mr. Chair, it is sound, prudent fiscal management. We have been focused on that since 2003, and we will continue to be focused on good fiscal policy that ensures that we develop the resources of Newfoundland and Labrador so that Newfoundlanders and Labradorians are the principle benefactors of that.

* Does not qualify for "Mr. Speaker, do your job", as the House was resolved into Committee of the Whole at the time.
