Mr. Speaker, I would remind the NDP and my hon. colleague that budgets are totally about people. This budget has made an enormous investment in people, including, with the last budget, over $9 billion to clean up our environment, which is our children's heritage and it makes a better life for all of us.
This budget increases education funding by over 40%. This amount will increase every year by 3% under this budget.
This budget supports low income Canadians with families by giving them a $2,000 tax credit for each of their children.
This budget will take over 200,000 additional Canadians completely off the tax rolls. This is in addition to the 655,000 Canadians who are off the tax rolls because of the last budget.
This budget helps women and girls by committing millions of dollars to a vaccination program to protect against cervical cancer.
This budget protects seniors and increases the money they will have in their pocket.
This budget eliminates so many of the barriers for people who want to get off the welfare rolls and climb the welfare wall into employment.
This budget is about people and it helps people. It contributes to a better life, not only now but in the future. I ask my hon. colleague to reconsider her support and support this budget which is for the people of Canada.
