Mr. Speaker, at the expense of sounding immodest, we have to look at the record. When we look at job creation under the government we see 433,000 new jobs. We also see a government that is looking at a number of issues including program reviews. It is looking at the programs that are working and the ones that are not. It is creating a climate for new jobs.
If the hon. member had listened to the speech of the Minister of Finance speech, he would have found that we are hitting all the targets we have set. We are moving toward achieving the results that Canadians wanted during the election campaign.
The red book is being honoured and Canadians seem to be extremely happy with the performance of the present government. Perhaps the hon. member should join in the applause.
