Thank you. That's a valuable point.
Putting that in context, when the Conservatives were in opposition, they suggested that when there is a surplus, Parliament should have a role in deciding how it should be divvied up. There was a suggestion made that in fact we should have a balanced approach: that we should put some money against the debt, that we should make sure there's some money for some very important program needs, and that we should put some money against tax cuts--although I don't necessarily agree, given your comments and others about tax cuts. Do you think it's possible for Parliament to play that kind of role, the kind of role the Conservatives used to talk about and are failing to follow today?
