Mr. Speaker, even though the Minister of Finance claims to have made poverty his priority, the truth is that he cut $11 billion from education, health and social assistance.
Here is my question for the minister. If today his government wants to pour money left and right into all sorts of programs, it is only to increase the federal government's visibility. They want cheques with little maple leaves in the corner to be circulating all over the place. That is what they want.
