Mr. Speaker, it was interesting to watch the exchange between the member for King—Vaughan and my hon. colleague. She made the claim that there is nothing for seniors in the budget. I see $5 billion for health care infrastructure. Public health is important for everyone, but certainly for seniors. I think about the fact that our programs have maintained support for dental care. I have talked to countless numbers of seniors in Kings—Hants who have benefited from that program. I think about the introduction of pharmacare.
Those are all things the Conservative Party voted against. The member, in her role as the shadow critic, needs to take a closer look at the budget to see the things that we, as the Liberal Party, have put on the table. The fact is that the government is maintaining these programs.
I look to the Bloc. It says in one breath that the budget was too expensive, notwithstanding that we are recalibrating spending, but then asks for billions of dollars for programs without taking targeted approaches to lower-income seniors, which is the way we have handled our affairs.
Does the member care to comment on that as a way to finish this off?
