Mr. Speaker, like former Conservatives, people like Joe Clark, for example, I recognize that Canada is a community of communities. As an urban-based MP, I want to assure the hon. member opposite that I read the Huntsville Doppler, the newspaper of record in his community. He increased development charges by 16%. It was reported time and again in that newspaper. They want to cut support for communities. They want to cut support for housing. Do not be fooled.
The Leader of the Opposition ditched his glasses. It is the same guy who wants to cut pensions, support for housing, support for young people and support for EI. They are not serious.
