Mr. Speaker, it is unfortunate to see a government so irresponsible in the way it interprets the negative movements of financial markets.
For instance, Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister sees an improvement where there has been deterioration. Fewer people are unemployed because more people are on welfare. When people go on welfare, they are no longer included in the unemployment statistics, and so the government is satisfied. This does not make sense. And the few jobs that were created are not durable jobs.
I want to ask the Prime Minister whether he will let his government review its deficit reduction strategy to restore its credibility with the financial markets. Is he prepared to immediately implement measures to cut government spending?
