Mr. Speaker, when we look at the debt/GDP ratio, for example, we see that the provinces are far better off than the federal government.
When we look at the amount that the governments are spending on interest, it is 27 cents on the dollar for the federal government and an average of about 14 cents for the provinces.
The three levels of government must work together, and we intend to do so. By so doing, we will have the winning conditions for a stronger economy and a better society.
