Mr. Speaker, it is always a pleasure to be back in the House debating an important subject after being with our constituents over the last few weeks.
My colleague spoke about economic management principles. He spoke about how government can finance its programs and what the scope of government should be.
After his party has proposed billions of dollars in increased spending, after it has proposed billions of dollars to widen the scope of government after lobbying against Canadian jobs and spoken against key sectors of the Canadian economy, how can that member criticize any sort of policy that would develop economic growth? His party, time after time, has lobbied against Canadian jobs, and it proposes to increase taxes across the board, including a tax on air.
How would he propose to manage the government, given all of these false promises and flawed economic thinking?
