Mr. Speaker, we are concerned with all of the social indicators that apply to Canadians. The prime motivation for the clean-up of the nation's finances was to put the government in a situation where it can address those things.
I am sure the hon. member knows that Canadians suffered from the trauma of a terrible recession from 1989 to 1992 and it took a long time for us to recover from it. However, as a result of the actions taken since 1993, all of those indicators have either stabilized or they have improved substantially.
