Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Finance.
Despite of all the cheer leading we heard this morning, Canadians woke up to the cruel reality that unemployment is stuck at 9%, a level which it has been at or worse for the past 84 consecutive months. To top it off, the Minister of Finance says that he will have to increase interest rates and kill off more jobs.
Does the minister want to be remembered as the Minister of Finance or as the notorious killer of Canadian jobs?
