Mr. Speaker, if we reduce taxes we are not reducing the deficit. That is something people will understand. We said that in the end we will be in a position of surplus. It is coming but we are not there yet because there are still some problems in the nation.
When I look at the program of the Leader of the Opposition, he promised to put $4 billion more into health care. He is a spender.
That was not a promise from us. We have done it. Right at the beginning of the campaign we said that next year the provinces would receive $700 million more and the year after $1.4 billion and the same thing in the years to come. So over the period of our term we will have given more back to medicare.
