Mr. Speaker, the hon. member may recall it was the NDP who collaborated with the Conservative Party and the Bloc to bring down the federal Liberal government. The program which I elaborated on, the $6,000 in tuition assistance for a four year program would have been put in place.
Since you pulled the rug out from underneath the Liberals, how can you now criticize us when we had a program that was going to go forward?
Research and innovation was fantastic as far as universities go. The university community was most appreciative of the Liberal government and now it has been shut out again.
Where does that put our competitiveness in the global world? We need the assistance which is lacking under the current government.
