Madam Speaker, I listened to my colleague's speech with great interest. I certainly appreciate his comments about International Women's Day and his knowledge regarding the fisheries.
I would like to focus on some of the budget elements of his speech. There are many things that we hear regularly in the House in terms of some of the things that the NDP value. I would like to ask the member how he can vote against $19 billion in economic stimulus that will be putting people to work.
There is significant investment of over $4.1 billion in social housing for low income seniors and people with disabilities.
I would like to ask him how, in good conscience, he can actually vote against these very important measures for all Canadians.
