Madam Speaker, there is no shock on this side that the member opposite is not going to vote in favour of the budget. At the end of the day, we need to recognize the contrast between the Conservative Party and the government, the Liberal Party. The Liberal Party believes that we have to invest in Canadians and in the economy. Now is a great time to do it.
Coincidentally, every premier of the provinces and territories is in agreement. They are working with Ottawa. The Prime Minister is out securing additional potential markets for trade beyond the Canada-U.S. border. We have a budget that delivers; from children to seniors, it covers the spectrum.
However, the Conservatives want to stand by, do nothing, spread misinformation wherever they can, and say they want to be in government some day. Where is the plan? Does the Conservative Party of Canada even have a plan to present to Canadians?
