In terms of talking with the provinces about a program to reduce the deficit of every level of government, I have to report to the hon. member that the Minister of Finance is always in communication with other ministers of finance. That is a goal every provincial government is trying to reach at this moment. We try to do it in collaboration with each other because it is very important that we manage this problem.
Today, now that political stability has come back to the country the interest rate went down by 1.5 per cent and the Canadian dollar increased its value to 75 cents. We now have to get back on the real agenda of putting the affairs of this nation on the right track and creating jobs. The people will be better off for that.
