Mr. Speaker, when we talk about investments, whether it is the national school food program, pharmacare, the dental program or the hundreds of millions of dollars that have been invested in Canadians through apprenticeship programs, there are many things where we have recognized that investing in Canadians is a good thing. The Conservatives, on the other hand, want to stand by and do nothing.
When they talk about deficits, it is important for them to recognize that the highest deficit was actually when the leader of the Conservative Party sat in caucus in 2009. They have no idea about deficits and how we can use deficit financing for the betterment of the country.
Does the member regret the fact that his leader, under Stephen Harper, had the highest deficit, in terms of the value of the Canadian dollar—
