Clearly, the excellent standing you are referring to is the fruit of the previous government's labour. Allow me, if you will, to speak on the former government party's behalf, and this has nothing at all to do with you. Thanks to the previous government, led by our party, Canada was the first country to emerge from the financial crisis, and has the best debt-to-GDP ratio and credit rating in the world. Fortunately, we were there to lead the country as the entire planet grappled with the worst financial crisis since the 1920s.
That said, you mentioned something else that came as a bit of a surprise to us, but I want to make sure I understood you correctly. You said that the government would have to return to Parliament every three years to provide an update on the situation. Did I hear that correctly? You are nodding your head. Why is it every three years? Why not every year?
