Mr. Speaker, to make sure the hon. member did not miss it, we outlined in dark lettering on the side of page 28 the following: “We will allocate our budget surpluses so that over the course of our mandate, one half will be spent to improve our programs, and one half will go to tax cuts and reduction of the debt”. It is very clear.
When we have a surplus we will have about a billion dollars. Of course when we split it up there will be $500 million on one side and $500 million on the other side over the course of the mandate.
