Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for his questions.
In terms of the infrastructure question that he raises, if a government must invest in some type of job opportunity or in some infrastructure project maybe jobs are created as a side benefit. However, if our country has good infrastructure such as roads, et cetera, the private economy has a good base from which to work. That is a very proper function for government and I agree with it.
The point I was making with regard to infrastructure is that it is not the solution to the problem. It is very short term. It is not a long term solution. We cannot keep borrowing money and investing it. Somewhere the hole gets a little too deep and we get into trouble.
I will deal with last question the hon. member raised.
