Mr. Speaker, sure the people are feeling happy. Do they have the correct information? Do they know what deep trouble we are in? Perhaps the government of the day with its be happy, don't worry attitude is convincing them of it but hiding from them the bitter truth of what is going to happen.
The government has stated as its goal to bring the deficit down to $25 billion. That is a cut of $15 billion from the present deficit of $40 billion. Where are there cuts of $15 billion? I have not heard one of them. It is worry about one million here and one million there. That is important but it does not begin to touch the big question.
