Mr. Speaker, I think one thing that almost all of the members in this House and the opposition parties continue to ignore is the rapid debt repayment that this government has embarked upon. By the end of this year, just a few weeks from now, we will have paid down over $37 billion of debt. That amounts to an incredible amount of interest.
Currently, $33 billion of our budget goes toward servicing that debt. I find that incredibly unfair, not only to this generation but to the generations that are going to follow. It is up to us to pay down that debt and I think that is reflected in our current economic updates and also in this budget.
