Mr. Speaker, I do agree with my hon. colleague that I do not agree with him.
The member asked what we have to be proud of, and so I will read a couple of things that we have to be proud of.
Here is a quote from the National Association of Career Colleges:
Thanks to the reforms proposed in this budget, including the new Canada Job Grant, an increased number of unemployed and underemployed Canadians will be able to obtain training that they need to access jobs that are in demand now, and will be in the future. [...] The 2013 budget introduced by this government will benefit Canadian job-seekers as well as employers seeking qualified and skilled employees.
I am proud of that. I am proud of the third-party endorsement for this bill, which has been like no other.
I did not get to touch on housing, which is obviously important to the north, and we have a record investment in that.
Here is what Habitat for Humanity has to say:
The Harper government's renewed investment in affordable housing comes as great news for low-income families looking to buy a safe, decent and affordable Habitat home and for young Canadians who receive apprenticeship training on Habitat build sites, developing trade skills that lead to good jobs.
The list goes on and on. I have never seen third-party endorsement so significant for a budget, as we have for economic action plan 2013. I am certainly very proud of that.
