mr. speaker, if we wanted to take advice on how to run the economy and federal government, we wouldn't take it from paul martin, mr. speaker. less than four months -- less than four months after meeting in a hotel room with the leader of the mdp, he voted to turf the liberal government out of power. the real scandal here, mr. speaker, is the liberals want to work with the mdp to force the coalition government on canadians, a government they didn't vote for, a government, mr. speak we aring they won't be honest and transparent about. that's not in their interest. it's wrong for canada. >> the honorable member for winnipeg. >> mr. speaker, bill is the conservative plan which would grant power to the indian affairs minister to impose drinking water systems on first nations. mr. speaker, bruce carson was responsible in the pmo for policy and legislative director, he helped develop s11. can the government confirm that this bill was key to his plan to skim off his $80 million share of the $1.6 billion that was desperate to help aboriginal communities?

mr. walker's amber restorative. >> hitchens: my cup overflows. >> kroft: hitchens has a legion of close friends that includes writers martin amis, ian mcewan, andhe critic james fenton, all of whom attest to his superior intellect, social skills, and a legendary constitution that allows him to consume staggering amounts of alcohol. author christopher buckley recalled a restaurant lunch that began at 1:00 p.m. and ended near midnight. >> christopher buckley: at the end of this ten-and-a-half hour epic lunch, i would have happily checked into the nearest hospital to have oxygen, blood, and extensive liver work. i think he went home and wrote an essay on george orwell. >> salman rushdie: christopher never does anything by halves, you know, so his attack is always a 250% attack. >> kroft: salman rushdie occasionally hid out in hitchens' apartment after the ayatollah khomeini authorized his murder for blasphemy. and graydon carter, the editor of "vanity fair," is a longtime hitchens employer, having assigned him to write about everything from what it's like to get a complete spa makeover to what it's like to be kidnapped and water-boarded. hitchens

among the original signers from stanford alone, kenneth arrow, martin carnoy, paul david, roger noel and gaven -- gavin wright. dreier mr. speaker, if i could -- mr. dreier: mr. speaker, if i could reclaim my time, what we've shown is that the economists say on one hand, on the other hand. the fact is, not every economist agrees on this notion, but a statement has been made and in fact my friend made it upstairs and that is, he said, when he was quoting mark, that everyone basically, every economist came to this conclusion and my point in actually referencing professor taylor is that there is disagreement on it. i happen to come down on the side, personally, of mr. taylor. i think it's important for us just because we want to all encourage individual initiative and responsibility to do everything that we can to reduce the size and scope and reach of government and that's what the goal of h.r. 1 is, so that we can get the economy growing. and i believe that more incentives by reducing that tax and regulatory burden will create jobs because we do share that goal. i'm convinced that everyone wants to do that. but this noti

martin at the pentagon. david, thanks. cbs news poll asked americans how they think president obama is handling the libyan crisis. half of those asked approve of what mrked disapprove, and one in five doesn't have an opinion. >>> news is not good at the crippled jap news power plant. a pool where used nuclear fuel is stored is near boiling point. that means that more radiation may be released. work has resumed now and restoring power to the plant, and the u.s. is considering ordering the evacuation of all u.s. military personnel from areas threatened by radiation. >>> jessica tata is back in texas this morning to face charges following a horrible daycare fire. tata was brought to a houston jail today. she is charged with manslaughter in the deaths of four children last month at the home daycare she operated. tata surrendered saturday to u.s. officials in her native nigeria. a mental evaluation has been ordered for jared loughner, the suspect in a tucson mass shooting. loughner will have the exam done in a prison facility in missouri. the judge in arizona said it should be done by april 29th. loughner is accused of killing six and wounding 13, includin

mr. speaker if we can find monies for the wars in iraq and afghanistan, and find out money to bail out wall street, if as martin luther king junior said, we can find money to put a man on the moon, we ought to put a man and a woman on their own two feet here in america and guarantee our children a high quality education like that of new treer. only the united states constitution can guarantee that and unleash incredible job growth and economic activity. now with the few minutes i have remaining, i have been dedicating this session of congress to unemployed. a lot of unemployed people have been sending me my resumes and the cost of putting them into the house record which i ask them to continue to send their resumes and stories is astronomical. and i wonder irwhy the congressional record isn't digitized and why we have to cut down trees to deliver these speeches. the cost would be significantly less if the congress of the united states would catch up to the nation's education system and start digitizing the congressional record. i'm not convinced yet that we aren't dragging our feet into the future. i want to re
