Mr. Speaker, I never thought I would say this in the House, but I miss the Liberals of old. I miss them a lot, it is true.
I have two quotes that will directly address what the parliamentary secretary just said.
I will first quote Paul Martin when he presented his budget in 1995:
For years governments have been promising more than they can deliver and delivering more than they can afford.
That is exactly what they are doing.
My second quote is from a former Liberal prime minister:
He said, “Good intentions are not an excuse for maladministration”.
