This is going well
Stephen Harper, June 17. I’m also pleased that the Official Opposition will work with us on the issue of employment insurance. I indicated we were looking at some changes for the fall and I’m hopeful we’ll be able to find some common ground over the summer but I’m delighted that we will have a dialogue and hope that it will proceed in good faith and arrive at some degree of common ground. So we will work at that in anticipation of the fall. And, you know, really in summary that is what people want in a minority parliament. Nobody wants crises. Nobody wants yet another election. Nobody wants the opposition coalition to get back together. They do want to see the parties where possible trying to find some common ground and working on the economy. So that’s what we will be doing. And let’s hope it all moves – continues to move in a good direction.
