Mr. Speaker, first of all, in the last budget, as the hon. member knows, we cut taxes by $7 billion over three years.
But if what he would like to do is talk about job creation, in the five years since we have been in office private sector jobs have grown by 1.4 million.
In the five years under the previous Tory administration jobs were up by only 180,000. In fact full time jobs under the Tories were down by 97,000 and in our case they are up by 1.4 million. In the last five years of the Tory regime the unemployment rate went up by 3%.
