Madam Speaker, going back to that last question, if the hon. member really wants to answer, I do not think it as simple as saying that we are raising the debt ceiling and therefore it is a massive burden on future generations. What if we did not do anything? What if we did not support Canadians during the last 10 months? What would that do to future generations? I am sure the member can appreciate that argument.
Many times in the House today I have heard the Conservatives talk about the increasing amount of debt that Canada has had to take on over the last 10 months in order to support Canadians, but they voted for it every step of the way. They voted for it in quite often what was unanimous consent motions brought before the House. They had the opportunity to say no, but they kept saying yes.
Could the member explain to the House why he voted previously in favour of all of this spending if he did not think it was a good idea?
