Mr. Speaker, the hon. member reiterated in her presentation what the finance minister said this morning in a CBC television interview.
He said that we are going to focus spending on things that really count to Canadians. Our values are health care, education, children and job creation. But when we look at the record, the government has cut $7 billion a year from health and education funding. That is a 40 per cent reduction. So the actions are quite different from the words.
The government's record on jobs is not good. The unemployment rate is about the same as it was when it came into office.
I would like to ask the member to tell me how the words that the finance minister presents and those that the member presents are so much different from what the record really demonstrates in these areas?
