moved for leave to introduce Bill C-293, an act to limit the national debt of Canada.
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to introduce a very short bill to limit the national debt of Canada which, as you know, has been growing by leaps and bounds for the last 20 odd years. It seeks to set an absolute limit of $625 billion on the national debt, calculated by the accumulation of deficits and surpluses since Confederation.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed.)
