Mr. Speaker, first of all, I just want to say that over 22 million Canadians are receiving a tax credit as we speak, and I certainly hope that the Conservative member over there realizes that this is exactly what Canadians called for in the election: targeted support that will help them in these times.
I will also point out that the kind of spending the Conservatives are talking about is on the things they have been advocating for years. They should be happy that we are investing in our armed forces, for example. Are the Conservatives saying that the Canadian Armed Forces do not deserve a raise?
