Canada Pension Plan  Mr. Speaker, one of the things the member mentioned right off the top was that young people today are not able to save. They are not able to save because, in some cases, they do not have a job or are not making enough money. Why does the member think we should be taking more money from them when they are not able to save rather than working to make sure the economy is flourishing?

Canada Pension Plan  Mr. Speaker, one of the things that underlies the entire CPP system is the fact that someone has a job and is earning an income. If people are not making any income, they cannot even contribute to the CPP. When they retire, there will be no CPP for them. In this time, when it is difficult to get a job, the increase in the CPP is making it even more difficult for people to hire people.

Budget Implementation Act, 2016, No. 2  Mr. Speaker, CPP is one of the things I wanted to get to. I recently received a letter from the Canadian Chamber of Commerce. It mentioned that bringing in the new CPP would restrict companies from hiring new employees. It said that companies would expect employees to work longer hours and do more work, rather than hire a new person, because that cost benefit analysis was going to come up.

Budget Implementation Act, 2016, No. 2  Mr. Speaker, as to whether we did the right thing by deficit spending during the greatest recession this world has seen, the jury is still out on that. I do not think we are overly proud of what we did. However, I do know we are very proud of our record in bringing our country through the recession better than other G7 nations.

Budget Implementation Act, 2016, No. 2  Mr. Speaker, I will be addressing some of the points my colleagues have made. I will start off with the fact that TD Economics recently announced that the deficit would be $34 billion this year. I will put that into some sort of perspective. Although 30 does not sound like a large number, when we say 30 billion, we often do not even put all of the zeros behind it.

Budget Implementation Act, 2016, No. 2  Mr. Speaker, I much enjoyed my hon. colleague's speech. She mentioned two things that made my ears perk up. First was the nation building projects, where I think back to the railway and things like that and specifically now the energy east pipeline would be a nation building project, taking product from Albert and bringing it to a refinery in New Brunswick, displacing foreign oil.

Petitions  Mr. Speaker, I am presenting today two petitions: one from northern Alberta, Grimshaw, Alberta; and one from people from across Ontario. I am pleased to present these petitions. The petitioners are concerned about the accessibility and impact of violent and degrading sexually explicit material online and the impact on public health, especially the well-being of women and girls.

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, in its first 100 days, the Liberal government spent $4.3 billion outside of Canada, but it could not fine $155 million to fund the ruling we are talking about today. I wonder if my colleague could talk a little bit about that fact and also about the fact that there seem to be inconsistencies across the board in the Liberal caucus, such as with the transparency act.

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, given the fact that through our history we have destroyed the basic family unit within our indigenous cultures, does she see that as being detrimental to the underlying health issues that seem to exist in disproportionate numbers in our indigenous communities?

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, real results are what we are all about. We have always moved cautiously and perhaps too cautiously in some instances, but we state a goal of what we are trying to do and then we try something to see if we are going to get to that goal, and if it is not working we try something else.

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, it does not matter what kind of a number we are trying to come up with; at some point it is arbitrary. Based on the need; that is a fairly fuzzy definition. Based on the need means a limitless amount, I suppose, so at some point we do have to take all the available knowledge into consideration and come up with a number.

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, $155 million is what Cindy Blackstock has outlined to fill the gap. The government is spending $30 billion as a deficit, past what is needed for a balanced budget; so $155 million in the sea of $30 billion is a drop in the bucket, to put that in perspective. I wish I had some more tangible numbers.

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise today to speak to the motion of my fellow colleague, the member for Timmins—James Bay. I would like to commend Cindy Blackstock for her work on this issue. Her and I have had conversations over the years. We do not necessarily always agree on the method of getting to where we want to go, but I can say definitively that we both share the same ideas of where children in our Canadian society need to be.

Taxation  Madam Speaker: Carbon Taxman, let us be We can't afford this onerous fee 11 cents more for a litre of fuel Taxing me and my kid's school Farms and families will feel the pinch When the Carbon Taxman pulls the cinch Tax the tractor, combine, plough Tax the chicken, egg and cow Tax the fuel that heats the barn Tax the power that runs the farm Add it up, Liberals, you'll like the stash When the Carbon Taxman grabs our cash Tax the Kenworth logging trucks Tax the chainsaws, log tops and butts Tax the backbone of industry And watch our companies become history The Liberals want to take it all The Carbon Taxman will have a ball Thousands of dollars from you and me Shipping costs on clothes and tea Earning a wage is not so fab When it's taken away in a massive tax grab Carbon Taxman—enough is enough Don't tax Canadians on all their stuff!

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, it is interesting that the very definition of genocide states that we have to identify a particular group in order for it to be genocide. If we do not identify particular groups to help, how can we combat genocide? I am struggling for the words to portray this, but that is precisely what makes a genocide a genocide, because it is an identifiable group involved.
