Madam Speaker, I remind the hon. member for Kelowna that if he wants to dole out the blame between those two parties he should also stand in the House to say that the Liberal government will balance the books over the next number of years.
The Liberal government takes initiative in terms of reducing taxation for Canadians. The Liberal government invests in the priorities of Canadians in education and health care. The Liberal government will bring the country into the next millennium with stronger fundamentals than there have ever been, with confidence in a stronger economy than has ever been, and with Canadians saying they have greater opportunity than they had between 1984 to 1992.
The member can live in the past if he wants to. I am not patting myself on the back. I am merely stating the facts and ensuring they get on the record, only for the benefit of members opposite.
