Mr. Speaker, if you would give us the time, we could refute each and every one of those statements because they are not true.
The minister has no concern for the people who are worried about a missed mortgage payment and the desperation they feel when they go another month without a job. He has no concern for the pain of a taxpayer trying to explain to his children that the government can take his taxes but it cannot give him a job and that his little kids have to go without their soccer and hockey practices because they cannot afford it.
Canadians are feeling a lot of pain and the minister has nothing new to offer to them. In all good conscience, how can he preach about an improved economy and how his policies are going to deliver a better life when 1.5 million Canadians have no jobs and millions more are struggling to put food on the table and trying to make ends meet?
