Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the hon. member. As he probably noticed, he was answering most of his own questions. Therefore this will probably give me an opportunity to address some real issues that are the minds of Canadians.
I would like to tell the hon. member that we will continue what we have been doing up to today. I think he has seen some cuts in expenditures. We are running a more efficient government than we have had. I remember my years in opposition watching the Conservatives squander money left, right and centre. We are not doing that. We are very fiscally responsible individuals.
At the same time we are investing in people because we feel that one key role of a government is to help people get and keep their jobs, to help the most vulnerable in our society with a focus on child poverty in a very sustainable fashion.
The results to date since our election would indicate that we are on the right track. We are creating jobs. We have great growth in our economy and Canadians are generally pleased with the way the government is governing.
At the end of the day the real measuring stick of our success will be whether Canadians are happy with the way we are bringing the country forward. I would say to the hon. member that they are very happy with the Liberal government.
