Mr. Speaker, again the opposition has misinterpreted the budget. We announced measures starting last year with the infrastructure program.
We have been very aggressive in creating jobs. With the better climate we have provided in Canada over 443,000 jobs have been created. I am sure the hon. member would like to read the red book more carefully than he has in the past. On page 16 and again on page 19 we emphasized the double track our new government had to take. That is to say, we had to create jobs and reaffirm our commitment to Canadians and at the same time we had to begin the deficit reduction program.
