Mr. Speaker, I hold my colleague from Côte-du-Sud—Rivière-du-Loup—Kataskomiq—Témiscouata in high regard, but the International Monetary Fund is clear: Canada has the strongest fiscal position of any G7 country.
Nevertheless, I find my colleague's questions interesting. What do the Conservatives consider to be inflationary spending? Would it be, as their leader suggests, depriving 39,142 citizens in his constituency of the Canadian dental care plan, which saves them up to $1,200 a year on dental visits? Is it depriving the residents of his constituency of the $87 million received by 12,000 families through the Canada child benefit? Is it cutting the pay of men and women in the Canadian Armed Forces, as the Conservatives did for so many years?
We would like to know.
