Madam Speaker, the government has achieved nothing in any of those areas. It is true. It is true that they are more expensive. It is true that everything the government does is more expensive. The only thing it uses as a success metric is how much money it has shovelled out the door.
If we ask the Liberals how they are doing on, let us say, roads, they say that their road program costs three times as much as the previous government's, and therefore, it must be good. “Are you filling any pot holes?” “No, not filling pot holes, just costing a lot of money.” No other business, no other sector in the world, would judge its success by how deliberately and exorbitantly expensive it can be, none but the government.
