44th Parl. 1st Sess.

Madam Speaker, I want to congratulate my hon. colleague on his excellent speech.
He talked a lot about rural areas across Canada. I wonder if he could elaborate on what he would have liked to see in this budget statement. I agree with him that there is not much in this statement for rural areas.

Madam Speaker, this afternoon, during oral question period, we heard the member for Gaspésie—Les Îles-de-la-Madeleine make preposterous comments that cast aspersions on the Auditor General.
The Auditor General's report was tabled today and, in it, we learned that the government overspent approximately $23 billion, if I am not mistaken.
In keeping with the really great speech my colleague gave, I would like her to draw a parallel between the money wasted and the economic statement, which contains nothing new and no additional measures.

Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech. We do agree on one thing: The economic statement is very disappointing.
Consider vulnerable people. It is important to increase health transfers. Old age security also needs a boost to provide adequate support to people aged 65 and up. EI reform is another urgent matter.
Does my colleague agree with the points I just raised?
