Mr. Speaker, obviously we have hit a sore spot with that member and others across the way. Clearly they are on the defensive and they ought to listen to the voices of Canadians in their reaction to the budget.
What has to be absolutely understood is that the government, in terms of trying to repair the damage of a decade of cuts, has tried to do a bit of everything on all fronts and has done nothing well. On all of those key areas the hon. member talks about, whether it is municipal infrastructure, housing, health care, child care or the environment, the government has offered at best half a loaf. It is a bit like all this hype and all this talk about social spending and it turns out to be nothing. It is a bit like eating a cheese puff; we bite into it and it dissolves in our mouths. That is what this budget is. That is why Canadians are so concerned and that is why we are speaking out.
