You know, sometimes I sit around here and wonder where this is all going, and I'm just going to pose it in a bit of a macro question to my colleagues. Let's assume we're thinking about the ballot question for the next federal election. If indeed the official opposition wants to make this economy the ballot question of the next federal election, being that Canada is in the best position of the G-7, I don't think that necessarily is the wisest course of action for the Liberal Party of Canada.
Let's look at what they've done. Originally, last year, they asked for a stimulus report, and they wanted to have quarterly stimulus reports. Then, of course, our government generated all sorts of advertising to report on the stimulus package and the job creation package, and then, of course, the official opposition realized they didn't like that so much because actually it was getting out our success relative to the other G-7 economies and how Canada was doing. Then they complained about the money in the advertising and they thought it was too much.
So now we have the official opposition, the Liberal Party of Canada, asking for job creation reports. So now they're going to beg the question about whether or not the Government of Canada should go ahead and take a lot of money to advertise to the Canadian public just how many jobs have been created and how well Canada's doing relative to other G-7 countries.
Sometimes I think the official opposition has to think very carefully over what they're doing and why.
