Mr. Speaker, I have enjoyed listening to the hon. member and I would like to ask a simple, straightforward question.
Our country continues to plunge into debt, and it appears that before we can wrestle the deficit out of existence we could hit $650 billion of indebtedness. As each year goes by, we lose a little more of our ability to help the poor, whether it is the needy
refugees coming into our country or any other poor within our society. What would the member suggest? How would the member suggest we help the poor in this country when we lose the financial and economic ability to do so?
