Mr. Speaker, there will undoubtedly be a requirement for the government to make further cuts in government spending to
ensure that we hit all of our targets: this year's, next year's, the 2 per cent and any targets which may be set thereafter.
If what the hon. member is saying is that it is very clear the action taken in our first two budgets has obviously set us on the right track, which is indeed the very clear implication of what he has just said, then I will take that as congratulations for the government on its first two budgets.
