Mr. Speaker, those cuts were in response to the $42 billion deficit that the Conservative Party left us.
We know that the finance minister has a history of cutting social programs. He did it happily in Ontario. How will he explain to parents who take their children to one of the 590 locations that provide these programs for vulnerable preschoolers that they no longer exist?
Instead of taking away from children yet again, why does he not do an about-face and do something out of character and actually invest in children in the next budget?
