Okay, thank you.
My second and probably final question is really for the other members of the panel, perhaps starting with Ms. Nasser, because I think you were left out the last time.
There are two areas in which I think our party differs philosophically from the Conservatives. One is that we tend to prefer direct expenditures rather than tax breaks. For example, if you want to favour a transit system, build it; don't give tax breaks to transit users. If you want to do social housing, build it; don't give tax breaks to people who likely can't use it for housing. And similarly for students. I wonder where you stand on that issue.
The second issue is these cuts. We regard these as being inimical to the most vulnerable Canadians, particularly in areas like literacy and other vulnerable groups.
I'd like to just ask your perspective on one or both of those issues, and then perhaps go to Mr. O'Hara and Ms. McIntyre, if we have time.
