Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate the hon. member for having begun his question so well.
We engaged in an analysis of Canada's economic needs, the circumstances within which we found ourselves and the government's overwhelming commitment to see job creation made the priority focus of the country. I think that is the reason why the budget has been so well received. It is as a result of this budget that the economic recovery will continue and Canadians will begin to do in the context of the rest of the world what we as Liberals have always felt they could do, and that is to take on anybody.
