Mr. Speaker, I am a little surprised by what the Conservatives are proposing today. I am not surprised that it is yet another pro-oil proposal, as we are used to that, but I am surprised that they are proposing to increase the deficit by more than $7 billion with all these tax exemptions.
Meanwhile, every time the government delivers a deficit budget, they get all worked up about it, although perhaps they have good reason to do so, since recent deficits have been quite excessive. The Conservative leader has said that every new expenditure would be offset by savings, but they are still proposing to add $7 billion to the deficit. Where are the savings the Conservatives are proposing, or are they suggesting that that government should simply run a bigger deficit?
