There were a number of proposals made for savings, where we could realize savings. On some of them we said no, those are important and we need to protect them, and on others we realized that there was opportunity there because the money wasn't being wisely spent. We owe it to taxpayers to spend their dollars wisely. We have to do that; otherwise we're not being responsible.
Looking at the previous government's programs, we found that wasn't happening. So when we do things like paying down almost a record payment on the debt, that will free up $650 million each year for new programs in this country to help Canadians.
