Mr. Speaker, the hon. member has raised some very good issues. I would agree that reality is that most students graduate into poverty and end up going through life with a huge student debt that becomes more and more difficult to pay off.
However I will answer his question on military spending. He has probably heard from members of the New Democratic Party that we believe very strongly that it is important to support our Canadian armed forces, particularly their equipment needs and the conditions under which they operate and live. I know my colleague who is our critic in that area has been very clear about that.
I want to emphasize that while we support that, we are also very aware of the fact that there are millions of other Canadians who will go without because of the emphasis the government has placed on law enforcement and law enforcement agencies, on funding to CSIS and on other security measures. This is taking away from Canadians who are most at risk.
