Debates of April 29th, 2015

Financial Statement of Minister of Finance

[Ryan Cleary, NDP, St. John's South—Mount Pearl, NL]

Mr. Speaker, what is going to happen is that there is going to be a change. The change will be that we will have a new federal government. We will have a New Democratic government, and we will have a new Prime Minister of Canada, and the priorities will change.

If I can return to the speech, the typical family, as outlined in the budget on page 6, makes $120,000 a year. That is an example, from the federal Conservatives, of a typical family in Canada, where $120,000 for a family income represents the top 15% wealthiest in the country.

I guess I should not call it out to lunch. It just shows what the Conservatives' priorities are. The Conservatives' priority is not the real, typical Canadian family.

[The Acting Speaker, Conservative, Barry Devolin]

Is the hon. member for Leeds—Grenville rising on a point of order?

[Gord Brown, Conservative, Leeds—Grenville, ON]

Mr. Speaker, I would like my vote to be recorded as no.

[Rob Anders, Conservative, Calgary West, AB]

Mr. Speaker, I think there was some confusion. Obviously I was meaning to vote no, and to keep the traditional wording of the national anthem.

[Guy Lauzon, Conservative, Stormont—Dundas—South Glengarry, ON]

Mr. Speaker, I voted twice, but I want my vote to be registered as no.
