Mr. Speaker, for one year now that party has been the party of gloom and doom, the end of the world is coming. It has been the cut, cut, cut party. In fact if those members are looking for an alternative name they might call themselves the gloom and doom party or the cut, cut, cut party. I rather prefer the second because it has more rhythm.
Looking at the opinion polls, why is it that Canadians have favoured the Liberal Party, the party that is in government today, with its gradual approach to the creation of jobs and the reduction of the deficit and the debt? Why is it that their party's support, whatever little support it had, is evaporating quickly? Surely the majority of Canadians have a good sense of judgment. Surely the majority of Canadians know what is happening.
Those hon. members talk about the infrastructure program as being inappropriate. First of all, they know as well as I do that it was not new money, it was reallocated money. I wanted to correct that.
Is the hon. member supportive of his other colleague's remarks that the infrastructure program is not good for Canada, that the infrastructure program jobs are not appropriate jobs? I want him to confirm or deny that. Because the infrastructure program has created a better, superior infrastructure, does that not make it easier and better for us to be competitive, thereby creating long term jobs?
Will the cut, cut, cut party, the gloom and doom party respond to that please?
