Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I too would like to wish a Happy Valentine's Day to everyone in the Northwest Territories and to my family, especially my wife, my sons and my mother, who was kind enough to forgive me for being late for my birthday cake the other evening.

Mr. Speaker, I would never hope to match that silver-tongued framer of phrases, Mr. Miltenberger, but we do know that Mr. Dent has caused discontent. But a new budget is a chance for a new start. I implore Mr. Dent to have a heart and to rise on Valentine's Day and say okay to the seniors' fuel subsidy.
