Madam Speaker, the last time this nation faced a recession in the late nineties, the Liberal government at the time cut health care transfers to the provinces, which created a massive surplus for the government. However, that affected folks in my riding of Cambridge because they could not get medical doctors. It took almost a decade to solve that problem.
The Liberals made cuts to the military, which led to the decade of darkness. They made cuts to science and technology, which led to the brain drain.
We have taken a different approach. We have cut taxes and increased funding for transfers and science and technology, and it is working.
Does the member not believe that cutting taxes will lead to a better quality of life for Canadians, that it will lead to more job opportunities for Canadians, and that cutting taxes, not raising them, will secure our economy now and for the future?
