Mr. Speaker, I was listening to the debate upstairs and could not help coming down because I heard all this hot air.
The member Trinity—Spadina and the member for Sault Ste. Marie talked about transit, housing, environment, students and aboriginals. I would like to quote from an article in the newspaper from back then. It said, referring to the NDP-Liberal budget:
$1.6 billion for affordable housing, with no obligation for provincial matching funds, and will include housing for aboriginals.
$1.5 billion to reduce tuitions to make it easier for students to get post-secondary education--
$900 million for the environment--
$500-million increase in foreign aid to bring Canada in line with a promise to spend 0.7 per cent of GDP.
$100 million to protect workers' pensions--
