Madam Speaker, the member is from Saskatchewan. She mentioned farmers, and I am glad she is raising the needs of farmers in the House, but there was nothing in the Conservative platform in April for farmers. I would invite her to point to any substantial program the Conservatives have had on offer for business risk management programs, or any programs, to help support farmers at the farm gate level. There was nothing, absolutely nothing, in the platform.
I am surprised the member did not mention the $1.6-billion child care agreement between Canada and Saskatchewan that was signed in her province and is helping support early education. Perhaps she could talk about the fact that Canada is spending around eight cents of every dollar in the federal budget on debt management. In 1990, under a Conservative government, that was 35¢.
I like and support that there is a member talking about fiscal management, but the government is already doing that with a plan to balance the operational budget in three years and to make sure that we are investing in the capital projects that matter, such as defence. Whether it has to do with farmers, or why she is voting against child care and debt management, maybe the member could address that.
