Mr. Speaker, my final supplementary question is for the Prime Minister.
Since the government's last budget, the Canadian bank rate has gone up by 4 per cent. It went up again today. The Canadian dollar has fallen by three cents. Canada is in danger of losing its AAA credit rating and its social services network is unravelling. These are just four of the consequences of the government's fiscal policy.
Does the Prime Minister accept any personal responsibility for these consequences? Does he want to go down as the Prime Minister that drove the debt through he ceiling and the dollar through the floor or will he order a mid-course correction in the government's fiscal policy?
