Mr. Speaker, families are already dealing with austerity. Speaking of cuts, parents are being forced to cut back on how much food they eat and on other needs for their family.

Even the Minister of Finance admitted that deficits add fuel to the fire of inflation. Will the Prime Minister finally listen to his own Minister of Finance and stop throwing that fuel on the fire of inflation for Canadians?

Those cuts were disproportionate in our part of the country. They struck us particularly hard. I will make absolutely no excuse and absolutely no apology for the philosophy of this government to invest in Canadians and especially in our regions.
