Mr. Speaker, we are on target with what we said to the Canadian public we would achieve.
We said that we started at 6.2 per cent of GDP and that we would be at 3 per cent after three years. We will be there. We set some realistic goals in a way that we have not stifled growth in Canada. At the same time as we were going through a reduction in the deficit, we saw a reduction in unemployment. The policies are working very well.
Most of the time members of the third party are not asking questions on the economy. Yesterday, for example, they spent the day talking about the coat of arms. Is it extremely important?
On January 15, 1994 the leader of the Reform Party criticized previous opposition parties. He said that anyone could make a jackass of themselves in question period. Yesterday the Reform Party proved that quite well.
