Mr. Speaker, there is no doubt that lower deficits lead to lower interest rates and to more jobs, but it is simply a function of balance. If we go too far, we are going to cause a great deal more long term damage.
I thought it was expressed really quite well yesterday. The leader of the Reform Party, the member will remember, made an analogy to a fiscal drunk running down the highway. That is probably not a bad analogy to the differences between our two parties. What we
are going to do is sober that drunk up. What the Reform Party does is run him over.
