Mr. Speaker, I listened with interest to the hon. member's speech.
I sit on the finance committee with the hon. member. As he is well aware, a lot of the representations we heard in committee are present in budget 2007, including some very significant funding for things such as the HPV or human papillomavirus funding of $300 million, which should prevent the spread of cancer among girls and women. This is very positive.
There is a 40% increase in post-secondary spending. We heard about that numerous times right across the country from representatives of post-secondary facilities who wanted additional funding and wanted that post-secondary school funding broken out of the budget so they could see how much it is. We know how much it is now.
We also see in the budget over $500 million for the Canada Foundation for Innovation.
Those were representations that we heard time and time again. I know the member supports these measures. What I cannot understand is why he is not supporting the budget.
