Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister forgot to mention that most economists and financial analysts who examined what caused the financial instability of the past few weeks referred to the Budget and the concern shown by financial markets about the govern-
ment's failure to cut where it should cut, in other words, public spending.
Does the Prime Minister agree that the negative assessment of the financial community will add another $3 billion to his deficit and that rising interest rates will compromise economic recovery and job creation as a result of a lack of confidence among consumers and investors?
