Mr. Speaker, I know in politics it is better to have a thick skin rather than a thick head, but I would suggest to you that I was quoting what the member opposite said and the other member ought to pay attention to what his colleague was saying. In any event, I would like the member to comment on the facts which deal with spending versus his view that we are spending far too much.
