Mike Wallace Conservative Burlington, ON

Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Minister, for coming today with your counterparts.

I'm looking forward to my eight minutes of sticking to the facts, and not the rhetoric that has been going on for the last few minutes.

I was a city councillor for the City of Burlington and Region of Halton for 13 years. Every single year I brought budget cuts to the table. Some got passed and some didn't. Can you remind us, because I like to deal with the facts, how much the government is spending in an annual year and what the actual cut is that you've proposed and that we're working on?
