Mr. Speaker, I must say that I find it difficult to understand why the hon. member has chosen this time to raise this point, since over the past two months, interest rates have dropped a total of close to 100 basis points.
It is very clear that the Bank of Canada's policy, which is to anticipate inflation, has a big impact on job creation. We cannot compare today's monetary policy to the monetary policy of four or five years past. There is an enormous difference and that is why the hon. member's claims do not wash.
