Mr. Speaker, Canada has the lowest debt and deficit in the G7, and our AAA rating was reaffirmed by a ratings agency last week.
However, what we need to ask is: What would Conservative austerity do to Canada? Do the Conservatives propose to cut our $200-billion investment in health care? Maybe they propose to cut our investment in early learning and child care, which has already cut fees for parents by 50%. Maybe it is dental care that they would go after.
What we know for sure is that Conservative austerity hurts Canadians.
