Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the thoughtful question from the hon. member opposite. We welcome his co-operation and his party's co-operation in finding concrete ways for cutting government waste and cutting expenditure. We accept the burden of reducing the national deficit, reducing the
external debt. We believe the positive way is by expanding the economy by creating more jobs. If more jobs are not created, we will never get rid of the deficit. That is why we say the two go together. There cannot be one without the other.
I welcome his co-operation and his party's co-operation in tackling the deficit.
