Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my colleague for his excellent speech touching on many issues that we have been raising as the official opposition. His last comment raised an issue that has happened to some of my constituents as well. Families making well over $200,000 have all of a sudden gotten the child care benefit, which they never received before and which they feel they are not even eligible for.
They were actually quite upset, saying they did not want the money. They were asking for it to be taken back. It was on a direct deposit into their account. They asked for it to be removed and were told no: They had gotten it, and now it was theirs.
It just shows the issues that we are facing, not to say that they are fraudulent, but that mistakes are being made with handing out some significant dollars. I think it shows why the government needs to be held accountable, when some of these programs are going a bit awry.
I would just like my colleague to say how important it is, when it comes to fiscal responsibility and lack of a budget, that the government be held accountable with taxpayer dollars.
