Madam Speaker, what I was trying to say was that all the economists are saying X, and only the Bloc is saying Y. That being the case, the only reason to believe the Bloc Quebecois would be if the member for Saint-Hyacinthe--Bagot were the most brilliant economist in the country. Is this what the hon. member is claiming?
I have another question as well. The notion that the public is getting nothing in this budget and the economy is not getting any boost is totally ridiculous. What they have received from past budgets, and from this one, is a tax cut of $17 billion. Most of these reductions go to middle and low wage earners. A total of $17 billion is not nothing, as she says. Neither is the $3 billion increase in health expenditures in a single year.
How can these Bloc Quebecois say there is nothing, when in fact there is a major stimulus, even greater than in the U.S.?
