Mr. Speaker, when you look at a country, you may look at its debt, but you must also consider its assets. Is Canada worth more than our present debt of $500 billion? If it is not worth more than that, obviously, we are going to disappear. But if you look at what Canada is really worth, with all its assets, its production, its natural resources, its people, if you add it all up and compare it to the debt, I believe that the difference is quite significant. My colleague will agree that to look at the debt without looking at the assets, is a bit short of good accounting practices.
With this, I will conclude, Mr. Speaker, that you must look at the assets instead of looking only at the debt.
