Shotgun. Oh yes, he is the expert on guns. I forgot.
The fact is that when it comes to this budget the major increase is in health care because that is what Canadians said they wanted to see.
I am badly disappointed that he does not recognize that the OECD and the IMF said that in terms of economic output we are leading again. We are the leaders in the G-7 this year and we are going to be the leaders next year. He does not mention the significant reduction in the national debt, down to 44.5% from just six years ago at 71.5%. In real terms economic growth is at 3.2% this year and will be at 3.5% next year.
These are things that of course Conservatives would not recognize because they have always been dealing with deficits. I am not going to mention the big deficit they left, because of course that is the kind of thing they are more used to.
Of course our Alliance friends here are no better. In fact what I get tired about with the Alliance, particularly some members over there, is that they talk the line. One day they say to spend $3 billion and the next day they say to save $3 billion. If we had that approach we would really be in a deficit and we would have a massive debt.
I would like the member to deal with the real figures, the real issues, with health care, investing in families and the hundred billion dollar tax cut. I would like him to say when the last time was we saw those kinds of investments. I will not go into infrastructure because he knows that is a dangerous thing for him to talk about.
Those are the kinds of things Canadians asked for and we have delivered. Are there any comments from my hon. friend in the corner?
