They had one person from each party (Jinny Sims from the NDP and Bill Morneau from the Liberals). Frankly, nobody stood out in a positive way. Like I mentioned about Rempel, Sims acted as if she was in Question Period also (attacking the others and spouting talking points rather than answering questions). The Liberal guy wasn't quite as bad but wasn't that good either. I wouldn't give any of them the "win".

To be fair, the Conservatives try to reinvent history when they talk about the recession as well. For example, we were already in a structural deficit when the recession hit but they won't take any blame for that. They also take credit for the infrastructure spending when they were forced into it by the opposition parties.
