Mr. Speaker, last year for the first time in a very long time the government paid back $1 billion or $2 billion of the debt. This was the first time in a long time in the history of market debt. This year when the Minister of Finance communicates his budget to the Canadian people, they will realize that this year the government will pay more of the market debt.
As I said yesterday, the leader of the Reform Party has changed his position many times. Sometimes it is tax reduction, sometimes the debt. We had a clear position in our program.
