Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the member for Calgary East for talking so clearly to the measures that we have taken for seniors and also how important it is.
There are two issues I want to ask him about. I will try to squeeze them into one question.
We hear the opposition talk about corporate tax cuts. I am hoping he can talk about why having a competitive economy is very important for us to be able to do the things we need to do. Also, in the last economic action plan, how much was actually spent in support of housing? In my riding we almost doubled support for housing for seniors.
Again, we need to have a strong economy to have that money to do what we need to do. Perhaps he could talk about those issues.
