I want to talk about the kind of aid that Canada provides. In budget 2005—I'm very proud of this—the NDP was able to change $4.6 billion in planned corporate tax cuts into affordable housing, education, public transit, and $500 million for international aid.
Now we hear from the government in the current budget that the plan is to flatline aid overall past 2011. It seems to me that this goes against any previous commitments we've made. We talk a good game, but we haven't delivered.
I wonder what your thoughts are in this regard.
