Madam Speaker, I do not know where the hon. member and his colleagues were last year when we did the budget because they keep bringing up the $18.5 billion.
If the member remembers last year's budget, we put an awful lot of money into education for youth. There is the millennium fund. We brought in the child tax credit. We brought in the transitional job fund.
The hon. member should look at what we brought in for health care, education and poverty. The member wants to talk about health care so let us talk about it. We took away $6 billion but with the tax credit we have cut by $3 billion, not $20 billion or $15 billion.
Canadians listening to this debate wonder why they are hearing all these different numbers. I sit here every day and wonder about all the different numbers. At home in my region of Moncton—Riverview—Dieppe, I can assure the member that our nurses, our patients and our citizens are glad because we gave the message in this budget that health care, children, youth and education are priorities for this government.
