Mr. Speaker, I congratulate the member for Edmonton—Sherwood Park. I knew his predecessor very well, and I would suggest he has big shoes to fill.
Based on his comments today, we have a new member who finally understands what a fiscal update is and what Canadians have been talking about over the last couple of days. He has talked about increased funding in certain areas that are needed in the communities. He talked about increased infrastructure and further investment as plans are presented to the government.
I found it quite interesting in his closing comments when he talked about the coalition that is being formed. I wonder if the member might contradict or show the contradictions from the Liberals who suggest that the NDP have no idea how to run the economy and think the best thing for Canada is a high corporate tax, which is the $50 billion that the government put forward and was passed by the House to help institutions, corporations and their employees weather the storm.
I am wondering if the member might lay out some of the contrasts he sees from an NDP-socialist idea of government pay for all to the Liberals who seem to support the $50 billion bailout. I do not know how it will work—
