Mr. Speaker, there is something about being on that side of the House that makes arithmetic very difficult.
I said yesterday that in terms of foreign borrowing we have gone from something like $29 billion to $13 billion. The fact is that it is going to go down next year and the year after that. What most people are saying is that one of the triumphs of this government's administration is that we have regained our economic sovereignty. Why does the member not accept that? Why does the member not look at her numbers?
If I have misquoted the member's budget, perhaps she would refresh her mind. Was it not right that the opposition party said it was going to take $11 billion out of medicare? Was it not right that the opposition party was going to totally destroy the old age
security system? Was it not right that it said we should go to a super RRSP and get rid of the Canada pension plan? Was it not right that it said that tax exemptions for small business are a giveaway?
If I am wrong, I stand to be corrected. Perhaps the hon. member will give us her party's new budget and then we can debate what it really said.
