Mr. Speaker, I thought I heard the hon. member say that he could not give this budget a letter grade because it was so bad.
Members opposite often cite the Fraser Institute, but on this occasion, not a word. Michael Walker said: "In regarding the government's latest budget as boring, commentators have missed some of the most aggressive fiscal action in the country's history. Far from being a bore, this budget was a turning point in Canadian fiscal history. We may well chart a dramatic turn in our fortunes to March 1996".
Would the hon. member like to comment? It is not that Mr. Walker has had a conversion on the road to Damascus; he has read the budget.
