Madam Chair, not only does a 3 per cent drop in interest rates mean jobs, it means there is more than that in the budget. Meeting our fiscal targets means the interest rates drop but there is more than that. There were jobs for young people. A technology fund will be set up. All of these things bring our budget to a modern economy in which there are not just jobs but useful, productive and interesting work for our young people and for all people in the country.
