Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives say Canadians voted for change. Then why are so many of their initiatives based on successful Liberal ideas?
In this spirit, I would like to thank the Conservatives for endorsing the following Liberal achievements:
By re-announcing the $755 million package for grains and oilseeds producers.
By re-introducing Liberal amendments to the Agricultural Marketing Programs Act.
By supporting the Liberal municipal rural infrastructure fund.
By implementing the Liberal residential schools agreement and accepting the Liberal government's good faith agreement to fast track payments to elderly survivors.
By implementing the Liberal campaign pledge to increase the $1,000 refundable medical expense supplement.
And by implementing the Liberal campaign pledge to raise the child disability benefit to $2,300.
Seven Liberal policies adopted by the Conservatives and not one word of thanks.
