No, you didn't answer my question. Canadian families face those similar choices on a daily basis and make choices to invest in their future and the future of their children. This government has chosen to use its own ideology by cutting expenditure on programs they don't agree with, and then claiming they are increasing spending on health care or immigration while they're doing exactly the opposite.
We had—this is a fact, and I know how much you like dealing with facts—a $13.5 billion surplus, and I'm not going to get into who's responsible for that surplus. This is taxpayers' money. They expect it to be spent wisely. It should have gone, part of it, to invest in health care, education, and future programs. This government has chosen to do exactly the opposite. It's really regrettable, and most Canadians are upset about that.
Thank you, Madam Chair.
