It is difficult, Mr. Speaker, to take this sort of suggestion from that particular member.
Under the Liberal government, spending grew an average of 8.3% annually over its last five years. In fact, in the Liberal government's last year, spending grew by 14.8% and then it had the so-called surprise surpluses at the end of every year which it would treat as if it were Liberal money and not taxpayer money every year with its March madness spending.
It is not surprising that the Liberals confuse taxpayer money with Liberal Party moneys. It has happened before.
