Mr. Speaker, I get such a kick out of the parliamentary secretary and government ministers talking about how we may or may not have voted against something.
The fact is it was an omnibus budget bill. There are many things that we now know are hurting Canadians, like the EI program we just talked about. The words that the parliamentary secretary brought forward in answer to that adjournment debate certainly did not bring any comfort to those who worked in the seasonal industries.
Yes, we have voted against the budgets, not against the investments. The problem with the Conservatives is that when they talk about investing more money, it is mostly all smoke and mirrors.
On the CFIA issue, the fact is the Conservatives cut CFIA in a number of areas and then added a little more money back in. The problem is the 700 inspectors, and the parliamentary secretary has not stood today and told us what they do. What we want is inspectors on the line inspecting products, not just shuffling paper around. We want to see inspectors who are actually dealing with the food products and we are not getting any answers to that from the Conservatives.
