Mr. Speaker, he was opposed to these measures in the House, in the last election campaign and even in his economic update just seven weeks ago. How can the government be trusted to do what it says it now believes?
Let me offer just one example: infrastructure. In the 2008 budget, the Minister of Finance announced, in his words, “the largest single federal investment in public infrastructure since World War II”. The problem is that the money just did not flow. Provinces and municipalities desperate for that money are still waiting for it today. Why should we have confidence in the government this time around when it announces and reannounces the same promises over and over again with no intention of keeping them?
I ask the member for Saskatoon—Rosetown—Biggar why any voter should believe her now, why any Canadian should trust her, and why any MP should have confidence in her government.
