Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask my colleague about the budget that the Liberals have brought in.
Obviously it looks very much like a leadership budget. The government has given some money to the Minister of Industry to appease him. It has not cut any of the wasteful spending that has been outlined by the auditor general. We heard some huffing and puffing from the finance minister during question period today.
Would the member not agree with me that the government has lost an opportunity to cut wasteful spending on low priority items and to put it into high priority items?
