Mr. Speaker, our colleagues have been talking about a budget. We have estimates before the House here. I had the opportunity to review some of them. I think the member for Whitby actually talked about the fact that MPs have the ability to look through the expenditures of government that are being proposed.
He talked about housing. I think that is really important. We are proposing to not only remove the GST for first-time homebuyers, up to $1 million, but the difference is that we still have supply-side programs. The Conservatives, in the election, proposed to fund that commitment through taking away supply-side programs.
Could the member opposite comment on how that actually would have been a really restrictive policy that would not have allowed more Canadians to benefit from the GST measure we are proposing?
