Mr. Albas, I think that is exactly what our government is doing.
As I said in my remarks, our government believes that today we need to find a balance. The balance needs to be between providing targeted support to the most vulnerable Canadians who need it while maintaining real fiscal responsibility.
I think the support we're talking about today, the GST tax credit, is actually support that everyone around this table agrees is the right thing to do. It's exactly what the IMF is recommending. It's targeted, it's focused, it reaches the people who need it the most, and we have really been careful to keep an eye on spending. We recognize that now is the time for fiscal responsibility. The budget in the spring was fiscally responsible. As I said in my opening remarks, Canada today not only has the lowest debt-to-GDP ratio in the G7 but also the lowest deficit in the G7. We are finding that balance, and I look forward to getting support from all members of the House for that balanced approach.
