Mr. Speaker, I would respectfully disagree with the hon. member. I heard his question, but this government was elected on October 19 in order to deliver for Canadian families and the middle class.
People have been saying two things to us: help them and their families, and grow the economy. That is exactly what we have proposed in budget 2016. We reduced taxes for the middle class, which is helping nine million Canadians. We introduced the Canada child benefit, which is going to benefit nine families out of ten. We are also making historic investments in infrastructure, innovation, and in science.
The mandate letter was the charter that the Prime Minister gave to the finance minister, but one thing that was clear was that we wanted to hear from Canadians and to make sure we grew the economy. That is what Canadians have been asking from us and that is what we are delivering by historic investments in infrastructure, in science and technology, and having a growth agenda. This is exactly what we will continue to do.
