Mr. Speaker, I congratulate my hon. colleague on his re-election.
One of the things we put forward during the campaign, as part of the measures we need to take to get our books back in order as a country, was taking aim at the consultants who are getting rich off the taxpayer's back. I have been through a household budget in my own home, and if I ever saw a line item for $2,400 for McKinsey or other consultants, that would be the first thing to go.
I do not know why the government is applying a different standard to every Canadian's books than those Canadians would be providing themselves. I think this speaks to the broader point, which is that, despite the plan of having a plan, and the proclamation that it was going to get things in order, this is not a government that is following through on that, from its very first communication in this Parliament.
