Madam Speaker, my colleague says Conservatives want to be prudent with money. The Harper regime was the most outrageous shoveller of money toward billionaires and banks in our country's history. I will just go through the numbers. There was $116 billion in liquidity supports to Canada's big banks with the Harper regime. We had the overseas tax havens that cost us $30 billion a year, according to the PBO, again, with the Harper regime. Shamefully, the Liberals have not ended that practice of $30 billion a year going to overseas tax havens and tens of billions of dollars going to oil and gas CEOs.
Conservatives shovel money off the back of a truck. If someone is a billionaire or a banker, they get that money, but what Conservatives did cut were all the programs on clean energy, including ecoENERGY, which Canadians stepped up to and the Harper government cruelly ended and shut down so many of those small businesses across the country.
How can the Conservatives possibly say they are credible when they did that?
