Mr. Speaker, one of the functions of government is to make choices and we did make choices yesterday. The largest single increase in any departmental spending was in the defence department. An $800 million increase was made in a department that was receiving about $12 billion a year.
I only take from the member's intervention that he suggests that less money should be given to poor kids and more money should be given to the military. Less money should be given to the environment and more money should be given to the military. Less money should be given to health care and more money should be given to the military.
