If this mass is set in motion in the right direction, it should achieve results in the form of economic growth based on the dynamic of our own resources.
There is no such thing as perpetual motion either in physics or in economics.
I did, however, vote against the motion as a whole, because it was merely a juxtaposition of viewpoints forming an inconsistent motion.
But a topical and urgent motion would shed more heat than light on the matter, and seems to me to be an inappropriate vehicle.
I think this motion is a good one.
It is very tempting to adopt a motion of censure, but that is doubtless not the best course today, given all the circumstances outlined earlier.
The extremist approach adopted by the author of this motion is designed to obscure the issues rather than clarify them.
For all these reasons, we are fulfilling our difficult duty of tabling a motion of censure.
