Mr. Speaker, I was somewhat disappointed, not only with the approach of the hon. member but with the approach of the leader of the NDP.
This morning the leader of the NDP was interviewed on national television about the budget. He was asked the question, “What things do you support?”. He would not answer. He was asked again, “What in the budget could you support?” He refused to answer. He simply bridged out of the question.
That is my frustration. I had assumed we were going to have a robust and also a fulsome, forthright and honest debate on the issue. Perhaps I was expecting too much.
I will simply reiterate the question I asked her leader this morning. I am looking at the budget highlights. I am looking at a working income tax credit of $1,000 to help the working poor over the welfare wall. I am looking at extra support for parents of disabled children so they can set up something like an RESP. There is a $2,000 family tax credit for each child under the age of 18. I am looking at some extra support for seniors such as increasing the RRSP age to 71 from 69.
Which of the items that I have enumerated would the hon. member cut from the budget, since she does not support it?
