Mr. Speaker, our hon. colleague spoke for, I believe, 15 minutes, talking about a generational budget. There is one thing generational about this budget, and that is the debt they are heaping on the shoulders of my grandchildren, my family, his family and the families of Canadians all across the country.
He spoke for 15 minutes, and there was not one word about mental health, not one word about the opioid crisis, to which we have lost 50,000 Canadians since 2016. Since 2016, we have lost more Canadians to overdose than we lost in World War II. There was not one mention of what the government is going to do with its generational spending in the next year.
Why?
