I hear my colleague promoting the Liberal budget. Yesterday, I heard the Minister of Finance promoting his budget as energetically as a 1960s vacuum cleaner salesman. Remember the big Electrolux vacuum cleaner that was supposed to suck up all the dust? With this budget, the government is sucking up all the money out of Canadians' wallets. The Liberals certainly have convinced us that they are the masters of our destiny.
