Mr. Speaker, the hon. member's reference to Santa Clause is clearly a misuse of the term.
However, for five quarters in a row the Canadian economy has grown, with 820,000 net new jobs, 90% of them permanent since 2009. I know the NDP members snicker when they hear this because they do not like to hear the truth. On page four of their 2011 election platform, they clearly are asking for a $21.5 billion increase in carbon taxes, which would raise prices on just about everything Canadians purchase.
It is a little rich for the member to quote Warren Buffet.
