Madam Chair, it is interesting to hear the member talk about the unaffordable tax cuts that the government of the day is talking about.
I would suggest that we reinvest that $6 billion in tax cuts in people. I strongly believe our seniors deserve care. We have been talking about a family care program that would be an expansion of the compassionate care program for EI. This would allow individuals who have a seriously ill parent to take up to six months off to take care of their elderly relative.
I believe we should be investing our money in people and not in prisons and fighter jets. That is a clear philosophy, especially when we have a $57 billion deficit that we have to work with.
There are some real opportunities in the future but investing in people is our priority.
