Mr. Speaker, the hon. colleague is my neighbour to the north. We share one of the largest cities as it is in both of our ridings, and I have deep respect for him. He is a true friend.
My hon. colleague and I have talked about the generational budget that the government has just introduced. It is generational because of the debt that it is heaping onto the shoulders of our families and future generations. I want to share this with everybody who is listening, the packed gallery here and the 12 people watching on TV. The fact of the matter is that today we are spending more to service our debt than we are in health care transfers to our provinces and in developing, sharing or transferring to our provinces to deal with the opioid crisis and the mental health crisis.
What would our hon. colleague's thoughts be on that?
