Mr. Speaker, the member will know that there was $7 billion in tax relief in the last budget. The member will know that when we took over government in 1993 the inherited deficit left by Mulroney's Conservative Party was $42 billion.
The member will know that our finance minister recently announced a debt reduction of $3.5 billion in addition to the fact that debt instruments totalling $9 billion were not renewed by the government. The member will know in his heart but he will not admit it that the government has started the country on the road to tax relief from which farmers will benefit far more than the nonsense being proliferated by the Reform Party.
