Mr. Speaker, he is the same member who just a short while ago said that Liberals were big government. I challenge that member to compare our size of government with that which preceded us which was the Progressive Conservative Party, just in case they have forgotten.
The member is trying to take credit for the government's success with other Canadians. That is what he is trying to do. He is trying to suggest that after the nine years the Conservatives spent in power where they were dismally unsuccessful on any number of fronts whether it be debt, deficit, unemployment, we are reaping the benefits. I am sorry. We have done as we have because we have stood with Canadians. I stood with my party.
