Mr. Speaker, it is with some difficulty that I find that the members opposite continue with doom and gloom and continue to try to attack a country which in terms of its economy is doing very well.
The member is simply not stating the facts. If he read Moody's statement he would have seen there was a general comment on the level of public debt in this country both at the federal level and at the provincial level. There was a very clear trend set out going back a number of years in terms of what previous governments had done and the failure of Canadian governments to come to grips with their problems. There was no comment on this government, our targets or the forthcoming budget.
I would ask the hon. member, if he is going to ask questions, for heaven's sake please base them on some fact.
