Mr. Speaker, this party has made it very clear the way that was practised by the previous government, the
way the third party advocates, the setting up of wishful targets somewhere down the road, is not the way one achieves success.
The Prime Minister and I have already said within this House that this year not only are we going to hit our deficit target but we are going to do substantially better. It is the first time in a long time that a Canadian government has been able to say that.
It is going to be very clear to Canadians and those who analyse the budget that not only are we going to hit our targets but that we are going to hit our targets based on very prudent assumptions. We are going to set in place the track that is going to clean up this nation's finances. The member can put that in his pipe and smoke it.
