Mr. Speaker, I was part of a panel on Radio-Canada this morning along with members of the other parties. I clearly said that these measures are very misguided. Let me explain.
The parents of my little Octave, who is eight months old, will enjoy paying less GST on diapers. However, little Octave is going to be facing a shitload of debt for the rest of his life, because that $6 billion is not going to be paid off in five, 10, 20 or 100 years. Every 20 years, that $6 billion is going to turn into $12 billion, then $24 billion, then $48 billion. Octave is going to be paying for the rest of his life for a government initiative from 2024.
Imagine little Octave, my 8-month-old grandson, being forced to bear the burden of this debt.
