Mr. Speaker, it is mind-boggling to hear the opposition member talk about endless spending when what he is referring to are things like the Canada child benefit, which has reduced child poverty by 40% in Canada and which helps tens of thousands of Canadians in his own riding. He also talked about the Canadian dental care plan, which, again, helps hundreds of thousands of Canadians, including tens of thousands in his own riding. It is shameful.
I would encourage him to come to his senses and support us. I know that, deep down, he was probably quite happy that his leader was hiding behind the curtains and that he hoped that the budget would pass because he knows it is a good budget.
