Mr. Speaker, the member for Portneuf—Jacques-Cartier gave a very interesting speech.
I did some research on La Fontaine's fable, The Fox and the Crow. The moral of that fable is this:
The flatterer
lives at the expense of those who will listen to him.
The Conservatives should be careful about what they are proposing.
Does my colleague know that his riding received 12,780 tax-free child benefit payments and that the average payment was $5,760?
We created 800,000 new jobs in Canada. The unemployment rate is the lowest it has been in 40 years. Our debt-to-GDP ratio is on a downward track. We are in the right place.
My colleague said earlier that he did not want to say what his party's plan will be. Will the Conservatives make a commitment? All they do is criticize the government. What is their plan?
