Mr. Speaker, let us look at what the Bloc is asking. If we followed every suggestion, we would be back in a deficit situation by the end of the year, and interest rates would be on the rise.
Allow me to quote the president of the Bank of Hong Kong, who said “Canada is being affected by events largely beyond its control”. I thank God every day that our financial situation is better than it was five years ago. Imagine what it would be like if we still had a deficit, as the Bloc Quebecois would like.
