I will be quick, Madam Speaker, and will ask my colleague to reread my speech, which he probably did not understand, because it was in French. Let him reread its translation.
I can see why someone who can only envision resolving the public finances issue through social spending cuts would be frustrated to see other people find other ways of resolving it. They know very well how hard a time they are having with it. Their ideas are not being accepted in Quebec and that probably frustrates them all the more.
It would be my pleasure to send him a copy of the finance committee's report, which contains the Bloc Quebecois' proposed solution to the public finances problem. I will tell him once again that it was certainly not the most needy who got us into our current debt situation. That is certainly not the case. Look at the past to see the reasons for the current debt level.
