Madam Speaker, there is a lot of bad news in the budget. One piece is the $78 billion of extra deficit, with $321 billion for the next five years. At any simple level of understanding, we know this has to be paid somehow by Canadian taxpayers and by future generations.
My hon. colleague is correct; the lineups at the food banks are a huge concern. It is something we have not seen in our history. There is the need for housing and the need to at least carry out our day-to-day lives. There are also a number of bankruptcies in the country.
All these are indications in front of us. Any wise person looking at the situation and thinking about what is going on will see that unless we change course, unless things take a different direction, and unless we at least admit we are in trouble and we start facing the issue as responsible people, we are asking for disaster, and that is what we have seen ahead of us.
