I know that, but as long as we cannot control our deficit and our debt, our children, our grandchildren and those who are not born yet will have to pay for that. That's enough.
Mr. Chair, need I remind you that the Liberal government and its finance minister, Paul Martin, had managed to balance the budget in the provinces.
We remember that 10 years ago, Prime Minister Harper tabled a balanced budget. Just to remind you, in the House of Commons, look at the painting of Prime Minister Harper. He is holding the expenditure control document with the balanced budget. I hope he will not be the last prime minister to balance the budget.
I will ask you again, Mr. Leswick. When you are living on a credit card all the time, when the money collected with the GST is barely enough to just pay the interest on the debt, you are headed for a wall.
Do you not think?
