Mr. Speaker, I prefer to refer to our party as the party of reasoned logic. There were a number of questions. I would like to answer them one at a time, if I may.
The hon. member referred to Canadians as being supportive of the Liberal government and what it is doing. We know how polls work. If we make 1,000 phone calls, 500 of them are made in the province of Ontario. Of those 500, 400 are probably made in metro Toronto. The same ratio applies to the province of Quebec. Those provinces are in pretty tough shape because of mismanagement by not only the federal government but also the provincial governments. In British Columbia and Alberta where the economy is better because we did a better job of it out there, it is not exactly the same as what the polls indicate. Let us be fair about the polls.
The hon. member talks about this $6 billion as being reallocated money. He is talking about taking the $6 billion savings, the savings in Liberal terms, from the helicopter deal and reallocating it to the infrastructure program. That money was not spent yet on the helicopter program. It was cancelled. Just because you do not spend the money that is not savings. This government chose to spend it. It chose to borrow $6 billion and go in the hole $6 billion more.
There is a simple truth and it is worth repeating. If the government formula of funding to create jobs, the billions and hundreds of billions of dollars that the Tories spent and the Liberals spent before them and now the Liberals are spending again worked, everyone in this country would have about six jobs for goodness sakes.
