Madam Speaker, I have a question for my colleague on his excellent presentation. I certainly agree with everything he has said.
The previous speaker from the Liberal side of the House talked about the throne speech, about all the wonderful ideas, about what they are planning to do and about all the new programs that they will implement. A lot of that is good news for a lot of people.
However, the most practical way of bringing these things about is that one presents not only the programs, but a budget and the cost to implement them.
Everyone across the country has applauded the throne speech. Everyone thinks it is wonderful. However, what we have done is given the government a blank cheque to do what it darn well pleases. Canadians are tired of this.
Does the hon. member believe that what he is talking about fits in terms of how we cost out these ideas?
