Problem with the comparison is that all of the conservative and Green proposals are per year, while many of the NDP and Liberal ones are spread over 5 or 10 years. The Liberal proposals comes out to around 15 billion per year. By comparison, the Green proposals is around 35 billion per year, the Conservatives are about 2 billion per year, and the NDP around 5 billion per year.
