Mr. Speaker, of course, if we go back a few months, we heard, time and time again, one of those slogans that the government used and that the Prime Minister used, which was around spending less. We now have the budget, and we see that they are spending $141 billion more. The deficit is bigger than he promised. We have a mounting amount of debt, at $324 billion more. There are Canadians who voted and who put their faith in the slogan of spending less. That is not what is reflected in the budget.
Could the hon. member speak to how his constituents may feel after seeing the budget?
