Public Safety  Mr. Speaker, let me be very direct to the leader of the NDP. We certainly welcome the important work of the Auditor General. We welcome the review of the Parliamentary Budget Officer on the summits' security bill.

Public Safety  Mr. Speaker, on the child and maternal health issue, the Prime Minister has shown great leadership. Let me tell the House what the G20 will be discussing. They will be discussing something that is foreign to the leader of the Liberal Party: the economy and the need to create jobs.

Public Safety  Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister has shown great leadership, as has the Minister of the Environment, on the important issues facing our planet. That is why Canada was an enthusiastic supporter of the Copenhagen accord, which is the next generation of environmental leadership that we are seeing.

Public Safety  Mr. Speaker, let me be very clear to the Liberal Party that all the costs have been fully budgeted for and the government is on target. Let me also say this. This is an important opportunity for Canada to provide leadership on the world stage. These are not funds that we want to spend on security.

Public Safety  Mr. Speaker, this party and this government need no lectures from a Liberal when it comes to waste and incompetence. We saw in the years that the Liberal Party was in power more than enough of that. Let me say this. None of us are pleased with the amount that security costs, but we are listening to the experts.

Public Safety  Mr. Speaker, let me say very directly to the Leader of the Opposition that, regrettably, security costs money. This is not money we want to spend; this is money that security experts tell us we must spend. There are literally tens of thousands of people who will be convening in our biggest city, Toronto.

Questions on the Order Paper  Mr. Speaker, pursuant to the Canada Marine Act, all port authorities, including the Toronto Port Authority, are autonomous entities under the strategic direction and management of its board of directors. The board has the authority to define hospitality and travel expense policies and to ensure compliance with these policies.

Infrastructure  Mr. Speaker, it is 2010. We do not believe that municipalities should be dumping raw sewage into our lakes, our rivers and our oceans. This government is going to take action to phase these regulations in over the next 20 or 30 years. We are going to ensure we stand up and protect our water, something the previous Liberal government failed to do.

Budget Implementation Legislation  Mr. Speaker, I do not know what type of initiatives she thinks we are trying to hide. Would it be the $500 million in transfer protection payments to the provinces? Would it be funding for organizations like Genome Canada, Pathways to Education Canada, or nefarious groups like the Rick Hansen Foundation?

Budget Implementation Legislation  Mr. Speaker, no, we will not. The all-party House of Commons finance committee, chaired by the member for Edmonton—Leduc, who is doing a great job by the way, gave great scrutiny to this important piece of job-creating legislation, and the committee passed this budget bill without amendment.

Infrastructure  Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the member for his question. Mr. Speaker, do you know how many days it has been since the infrastructure critic asked me a question? It has been 175 long days. What have we done in those 175 days? We have announced $100 million to help the great city of Hamilton increase its capacity to make water safe.

Offshore Drilling  Mr. Speaker, we all take our environmental responsibilities incredibly seriously. The coast of British Columbia is one of the most beautiful places on the planet. We have tough regulatory regimes in place and we are always prepared to make them even tougher.

Taxation  Mr. Speaker, there has recently been released an independent University of Calgary study that has confirmed what we have been saying all along, that the Liberal leader's tax plan would kill jobs. In fact, the study that was released today says that the Liberal tax hike would lead directly to the loss of some 233,000 jobs.

Financial Institutions  Mr. Speaker, there is an honest difference of opinion between this government and the New Democrats. They want to tax more. They want to spend more. We want to ensure that low taxes help to create jobs, help to create hope, and help to create opportunity. That is why the government has made a significant effort to bring down taxes to make it as easy as possible for Canadian businesses to create jobs.

Public Safety  Mr. Speaker, I say to the House that the leader of the NDP is a great optimist, clearly, from his comments. We are inviting world leaders from the G8 countries to meet in Huntsville to discuss the important need to boost the world economy. We are inviting the world leaders from the G20 to visit the city of Toronto.
