Mr. Speaker, I am still trying to understand how much $400 million really is and what it represents. I think Canadians at home would also like something more relatable so they can put this into context.
What could that money actually buy? It can buy 80 million cheeseburger Happy Meals, which is about two for every Canadian; 161 million double-doubles, which is a week's worth for every adult Canadian; or, for the good people of Toronto—St. Paul's, 170,000 months of rent, or about five months for every renter in St. Paul's.
If the government used taxpayer money to give away the equivalent of 80 million cheeseburgers, how can we trust it with any of our funds?
