Mr. Speaker, the member has no shame. His allies are laughing.
We have made it very clear that the way the previous government operated, the government for which the hon. member once worked, which never once met its deficit targets-that is to say to simply set five year targets, long term targets out of the way after an election was held and never meet them-was not the way to go.
As far as we are concerned what this country wants is credibility in government. We have provided it by establishing clear targets and hitting them and we will continue to do that.
