Mr. Speaker, talking about being irresponsible in the volatile situation that we face right now, there are a lot of Canadians inside this House, both sides included, that say why in the world then would the finance minister yesterday at a conference lend credence to that and say that if he cannot keep his hands on all that EI overpayment, we are going to fall into a recession? That is volatile and that is irresponsible.
Why does the finance minister have to resort to these scare tactics? What good is the fear factor?
