Mr. Speaker, the member should come to my riding and tell that to the workers who just lost their jobs.
The middle class is paying the price for the Conservatives' mismanagement. The manufacturing sector slipped again, for the second month in a row. Under the Conservatives, we have lost more than 400,000 well-paid manufacturing jobs, and in the suburbs north of Montreal, in my region, another 300 workers at Bell Helicopter are being let go.
Instead of passing a budget that favours the rich, will the government finally take job creation seriously?
