Mr. Speaker, fortunately there are more than two choices.
I think the hon. member should analyse the inflation numbers a little better. The 2.9 per cent is well within our target range of inflation. If he looks at the recent history of the Bank of Canada he will find that interest rates have fallen recently and that those numbers are well below budget projections.
I would also like to remind the hon. member that if we are going to have continuing inflation in the country it has to be pressured by wages. The wage increases in the country have been very subdued, very low, which indicates that future inflation will not be out of hand but rather will be very low as well.
