Madam Speaker, I listened to the hon. member across the way recite Reform dogma. I am wondering if he really understands what tax credits to the provinces mean because that was part of his speech.
We have watched the economy grow because we have the deficit down to a zero balance and we have the government budget under control. The rest of the countries in the world see that we are serious about fiscal restraint. We have had economic growth of 4% in the last few years and this year looks like it will be around 3%. That means to say that the provinces have got 4% more and 3% more. Interest rates are at a 30-year low which means the servicing on their debt is lower. Does the member really understand all this?
