Mr. Speaker, I find it very hard to understand the position of the Bloc Quebecois and its finance critic, since they had the opportunity to submit a constructive report and to make suggestions, not just nice speeches, but suggestions to really help us get rid of this plague called the deficit.
Instead of rising in the House to tell us about their own report and make suggestions, Bloc Quebecois members can only attack the government and, I must say, they do a poor job of that too.
We will solve the problem, but I invite the hon. member to participate in a joint effort. Deficit reduction should not be subject to partisan attacks: it should be a common goal for everyone.
