Mr. Speaker, here is a member who must have written dozens of letters requesting assistance for people in his riding.
Our government has taken a $42 billion deficit and turned it into a surplus. We have used these programs to reduce unemployment from 11.5% to 6.8%, the lowest level in 25 years. A total of 1.9 million new jobs have been created in the past six years.
All these programs have been organized to help the most disadvantaged in our society. It is always the opposition that demands the most, and now they are pulling their holier-than-thou routine.
