It's “don't worry, be happy” fiscal management. One of the important things is that we align the government's priorities with the people's priorities. Canadians expect us to manage their hard-earned tax dollars wisely and well, and to respond to their concerns, and the fact that something was a concern last year or ten years or twenty years ago when a program was announced doesn't mean it's a priority now.
Another real concern I have is that one of our colleagues in the House of Commons made the following statement: nothing starts a feeding frenzy more than the smell of cash around Liberal backbenchers. That's not a Conservative MP saying that. That's the member for Kings--Hants, who's a member of the Liberal caucus and a leadership candidate. I think he wisely identified a real concern, when we have big surpluses, about what his caucus colleagues might want to do with them.
