Mr. Speaker, during the member's speech he said something that caught my attention. It is quite unfortunate that he used these words, but he said that the government was pandering in the budget to special interests and was somehow providing special attention based on race, language, gender and region rather than equal opportunity.
I do not know what part of the millennium scholarship fund falls into the special interest envelope he painted. I do not know what part the tax relief to low and middle income Canadians falls into the special interest envelope he painted. I do not see where the caregiver tax credit for those who provide care in the home to the elderly and the infirm falls into this special interest envelope the member painted.
The member stated very clearly in the House that the budget somehow pandered to special interests, in his words, specifically on the basis of race, language, gender or region rather than equal opportunity. I would like the member to stand in his place this instant to tell the House one example where race, language, gender or region is the basis of the budget.
