Madam Speaker, I do not know where the member is getting his facts either because the government does not give any money to executives of petroleum companies across the country. It is a productive sector and when it is doing well, all the employees do well. When it is doing poorly, we can take a look at the employment losses over the last eight years while we were in Parliament. It has only bounced back in the very near past, the last two years. There is some significant misinformation that comes from the member.
I do not know what the member is referring to when he mentions a government a decade ago that had to deal with fiscal prudence, but I agree with him that the Conservatives are looking at where we need to spend money effectively in the economy because, frankly, the current government is going broke.
