Mr. Speaker, after years of the leader of the third party's wanting us to go to the people, now he is chickening out.
We want to go to the people because of the work we have accomplished since the beginning of our term.
We will say to the Canadian people that his party does not have a program any more. That party was always talking about the deficit. We solved the problem.
We will go to the people of Canada and say that because of the good government we have provided we now have the lowest interest rates in 35 years. We will go to the people of Canada and tell them that because we had a good government their mortgage payments are about half of what they were six years ago. Now when people renew a $100,000 mortgage they have $6,000 or $7,000 more in their pockets each year, after tax.
That is much better than the tax cuts which that party promised to give to the banks.
