Mr. Speaker, as we have said several times, a budget will be presented on Monday which will be a very definitive answer by the government to the broad crisis.
If the hon. member looks at the past record, one of the errors of omission of our predecessors is that they did not come to grips with economic reality. They did not take the decisions that were necessary to stabilize or to restructure the economy and put us in a position where we could compete effectively and create jobs in a global economy.
We have undertaken initiatives in trade. We are taking initiatives in social reform. We are taking initiatives in the whole area of developing small business programs. It is not simply a matter of reacting to rhetoric, but actually coming to grips with the hard decision.
Again, I would invite the hon. member to join us in that very important enterprise.
