He should have told us why the operator, to wit himself, was punishing through with that kind of machinery. Why would he not do what we are doing with this bill? The time comes to refurbish, to trade your equipment in or at least refurbish it instead of trying to punish it out in the field with very low production. That is what this bill is all about.</p>\n<p>The member for Lisgar-Marquette said something else and I wrote it down. I will probably get it framed. I want the House to realize, all my friends to realize-</p>",
