Mr. Speaker, I do not doubt my colleague's sincerity on this issue. I know she has spoken out on inequality, as have other colleagues in the Liberal Party, and I do want to acknowledge that.
However, out of power, the Liberals tend to hope that Canadians have amnesia. Liberals do have to be accountable for past actions. I will remind the hon. member and all colleagues here that 94% of the increase in inequality over the last couple of decades has occurred during Liberal governments. They enacted many measures that were extremely harmful to Canadians, measures in health care and social spending that were downloaded to the provinces and that we have not recovered from to this day.
I am glad she raised child care, because in more than a decade of Liberal governments, with majority government after majority government and surplus budget after surplus budget, not one child care space was created in this country. I think that was a shameful waste of opportunity.
