Mr. Speaker, the hon. member, together with the member for LaSalle—Émard, can trumpet any private member bill they wish.
I will tell the House this about that particular member's bill. It is consistent with the previous 13 years of Liberal inaction: no expenditures are contained in that bill. It is consistent with the 10 years that the member for LaSalle—Émard was the minister of finance and the 13 months that he was the prime minister.
The culmination of all that is, as Gerard Kennedy described, “a devastating record”.
This government is getting things done. We are moving forward and we are making progress. The budget contains $10 billion of expenditures.
