Mr. Speaker, the just path is always the right one. So goes the Yiddish proverb, which I know the member for Thornhill will thoroughly enjoy. We know that the government is on the unjust path with vote 40 and how it is going to proceed on its spending plans.
The example I give to my constituents to explain what vote 40 means for them is this. I have three kids, and I hope we will be adding a fourth child in August. I have two boys. It would be like my youngest son coming to me and saying, “Dad, I need $20, but instead of me telling you what I am going to spend it on, just give it to my older brother, who will make sure that I spend the $20 wisely.”
Does the member think that this is the right way to do things, to allow the Treasury Board to be like the older brother, who really knows how the money is going to be spent without me knowing where that $20 is going?
