Madam Speaker, my hon. colleague is right. There is precious little in this budget that deals with the actual problem we have with housing, with health care and with employment. On the justice issue, I live in a community where in the last 60 days we have had two murders on the quiet streets of Richmond Hill. I was also looking in the budget to see if we got some kind of relief, focus or attention regarding how our justice system runs in this country, but unfortunately it is not in there. This is a document full of rhetoric that does not respond to that.
The issue of immigration is a big problem in this country, but on page 311, which scantily addresses the issue, the top line says the Liberals are going to reduce the resources for immigration, because they are going to be imposing a 15% cut on the department. This is ridiculous.
The government has missed the boat and continues to miss the boat on what really is affecting Canadians today.
