Madam Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for the question.
Prime Minister Harper surrounded himself with competent women and men with various responsibilities specifically in order to clean up the Liberal mess from the previous decade and to balance the budget.
Future generations will be stuck with the mess left by this government, which is running up a deficit and taking more money out of taxpayers' pockets. It is even going after diabetics, as we learned yesterday, and people with autism.
Once again, it is important to put the right people in the right positions and pay them accordingly.
Why does my colleague not recognize that a minister is not the same as a minister of state, and that different jobs are worth different salaries?
