Madam Speaker, I have heard Conservatives today talk about how this budget is not going to do anything for Canadians and will certainly cripple our economy, in their opinion. I respect that opinion. However, it is not an opinion that is shared by everybody. The former governor of the Bank of Canada, who I might add was a Stephen Harper appointee, had the following comments in relation to the government's plan. He said, “ingredients that one needs to have in a sustainable plan are present, and that was done without a meaningful increase in taxes of any kind.”
Would the member like to reflect on the comments that were made by the former governor of the Bank of Canada, who was appointed by Stephen Harper?
