Privilege  Its members hate it when I point that out. When the member for Mississauga—Streetsville misspoke in the House, he corrected the record and apologized. When the entire NDP caucus says one thing to its constituents and then acts in completely the opposite direction in the House, it not only fails to apologize but, sadly, it does not even feel any shame.

Privilege  Mr. Speaker, I will start by discussing the essential points of the matter we are discussing today. The member for Mississauga—Streetsville simply misspoke during the fair elections act debate last month. Entirely on his own volition, the same member later corrected the record and apologized to the House.

Winter Olympic Games  Mr. Speaker, I rise in the House today to congratulate Larisa Yurkiw on her recent performance at the Olympic Winter Games in Sochi, Russia. Larisa is a Canadian skier from Owen Sound who specializes in women's downhill alpine skiing and women's super-G races. Following a devastating knee injury in 2010, she was cut from the Canadian team and was on her own to fundraise her way to Sochi.

Infrastructure  Mr. Speaker, this Conservative government, since taking office, has delivered a lot for Canadian municipalities. Thousands of infrastructure projects have received federal funding. Can the minister please explain how the government is planning to support recreational infrastructure going forward?

The Budget  Mr. Speaker, I am quite familiar with the member's riding. It is not as beautiful as Bruce—Grey—Owen Sound, but it certainly has its attributes. My family has a recreational property there, which we use and enjoy very much. It is good to see the member, I think, point out that some of the money in this budget would go toward recreational snowmobiling, a part of the tourism industry.

The Budget  Mr. Speaker, my colleague likes to name-call and that kind of thing at the start. I certainly would never recognize him as a member of the socialist Liberal Party. In any event, he mentioned health care and I am glad that he pointed that out. Our increases with respect to health care have been around 6% a year, and we are committed to that.

The Budget  Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to have the opportunity to rise in the House today to discuss the benefits of economic action plan 2014 for the residents of Bruce and Grey counties, and indeed for all Canadians. Before I begin, I would like to express my congratulations once again to our Minister of Finance, who has presented a very commendable budget that delivers on promises this government has made and that seeks to advance the lives of all Canadians.

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague, the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Transport, for his ongoing work on this as well. The member is correct in his assumption. It is quite common for many of the opposition members across the way. It is like letting the horse run out of the barn and then, all of sudden, trying to close the door.

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I think it has been made pretty clear by Canada Post that a lot of thought went into the changes it has proposed. I think, like any business and any government, we should always be looking at different ways to do business or deliver services. It would not surprise me if Canada Post still has an ongoing review of how it delivers its services .

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I will be splitting my time with the member for Elmwood—Transcona. I rise today to speak to the motion calling on the House to oppose Canada Post's plans to realign its business model with the changing needs of Canadians. Canada Post is required by law to manage its business in a way that is financially self-sustaining.

Economic Action Plan 2013 Act No. 2  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for her fine comments and especially for pointing out the many good things that are in this Bill C-4 that we are talking about. I am not going to repeat them. They are almost too numerous to allow following up on all of them. However, I thank her for recognizing that.

Economic Action Plan 2013 Act No. 2  Mr. Speaker, I enjoy sitting with my hon. colleague on the transport committee and I enjoy his comments. I was really happy to see him point out that we are on the right path, as I think he said, and that we were shooting straight. Ironically, he talked about plowing straight. I farmed, and that is one of the things I took a lot of pride in.

Economic Action Plan 2013 Act No. 2  Mr. Speaker, my colleague across the way is a little bit out of step with the majority of Canadians. He talks about wanting to debate a bill, but he spends half of his time complaining about whether or not he likes the bill. For my colleague across the way, the bottom line is that it is not about debating the bill; it is just about how opposition members can find ways to drag down government and all that.

Economic Action Plan 2013 Act No. 2  Mr. Speaker, I am very pleased to have this opportunity today to speak to Bill C-4. This is a very important piece of economic legislation that will benefit Canadians right across the country. As many members know, since we introduced our economic action plan, Canada has recovered more than all of the output and all of the jobs lost during the recession.

Canadian Broadcasting Corporation  Mr. Speaker, the CBC violated its own code of ethics in giving a payoff to Brazil-based former porn industry executive, Glenn Greenwald, for national security information stolen from one of Canada's allies. Shockingly, Canadians watching the original TV broadcast were not informed of this cash-for-news scheme.
