Mr. Speaker, I find it interesting to see all my Conservative colleagues getting all worked up about the Liberal budget today and saying how bad they think it is. I could get caught up in that too, because I do not think much of it is good.
Unlike the Conservatives, we have the benefit of being consistent. This week, when we voted on the budget, we were surprised to see that two Conservative members were hiding, waiting to see whether the budget would pass, before coming back to the House to state that they had had technical problems related to the vote.
My question for my colleague is this. Despite everything that the Conservatives say is wrong with the Liberal budget, how is it that they did the math and found a way to make sure it would pass? Is it because, as everyone says, this is ultimately a Conservative budget?
