Madam Speaker, the member threw me a hardball but let me see what I can do.
I have noted that Bombardier gets a little help from this government. I also noted that Bombardier made a profit last year in the range of $235 million. But we also know, thanks to the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, that but several aerospace concerns have received not hundreds of millions but over $1 billion in subsidies. To me that is unbelievable.
How much of these repayable loans have been paid back? I see the minister of industry is in the House. A fraction get paid back, 2% or 3%. I think it is unbelievable that this government will slash health care, attack all the programs that are extraordinarily important to Canadians but still pump billions of dollars into corporate welfare for companies such as Bombardier and many others.
I hope I have adequately answered the question from my colleague for Calgary West.
