Mr. Speaker, that is quite the panacea the member is living in over there, I suppose, by his closing comments and I will start with that. I find it remarkable that the Liberal Party, with the support of nobody else in the House and nobody who came before committee, has made the proposal on income trusts that it has made. I really want to get to something that is more important.
The member is from Ontario. He should know that the government of Ontario specifically talked about what a great budget this is for Ontario. It is great for all of the country because it gives more to all regions and provinces but specifically Ontario. This budget will give Ontario $12.8 billion in 2007-08. There is $8.1 billion for health transfers and $3.8 billion for Canada's social transfer, including a 40% increase in post-secondary spending alone.
How could the member stand in the House and oppose this budget? Does he stand up for his constituents or not? This budget works for his constituents. Dalton McGuinty loves this budget. I cannot understand why the member does not. He can take the fight wherever he wants, but hard-working Canadian families and Canadian small businesses know this budget works for them. That member is not down with them at all.
