Mr. Speaker, the victims of the recession are losing a great deal. The banks are the big winners in this budget.
Choices are made in a budget.
The Conservatives have chosen to make the banks, oil companies and the most profitable companies in the country even richer instead of helping seniors get out of poverty by increasing the guaranteed income supplement benefits, as the New Democratic Party has proposed.
Why has the government chosen to help the banks and oil companies instead of seniors in this crisis?
