Mr. Speaker, when we came here we said we were going to reduce the deficit to zero. They did not believe us but we did it. For three years in a row we have had surpluses in Canada. We have not seen that in 50 years. Since we have a surplus, in a very humble way the Minister of Finance reduced taxes in the last two budgets. He will continue to do that in the next one. We have an agreement on that.
