We would all be shocked, Mr. Speaker, if in fact you were part of the government.
The government spent an average of 6.4% on total program spending per year and direct federal spending was 8.6%.
The so-called new government, the so-called fiscally responsible government, the so-called Conservative government is on a wild and crazy drunken spending spree. These are numbers that are shocking. These numbers would do credit to the NDP, for goodness sake.
Is the hon. member particularly proud of the way in which he essentially spent the cupboard bare?
