Mr. Speaker, let us talk a little about hypocrisy.
When the Leader of the Conservative Party sat around the Conservative government caucus back in the day, they actually had a deficit that was larger, when inflation is factored in, than the deficit that is here today. That is the reality of the 2009 budget, when his leader sat around the government caucus table.
Oh, how things have changed now that the Conservatives are in opposition. The difference is that the Liberal government believes in Canadians and believes in investing in Canada's infrastructure and the people of Canada.
Can the member indicate why today's Conservative leader does not believe in supporting Canadians and does not believe in the need to expand trade opportunities throughout the world for our businesses?
