Mr. Speaker, the hon. member continues to make perceptive glances into the obvious. Of course our debt is too high. That is why we have been reducing it. We have taken the debt to GDP ratio from 71% to where in two years it will be 62%.
Yes, we want to reduce taxes. They were too high and that is why we reduced them in the last budget. That is why we reduced them in this budget and that is why we will reduce them in the next budget.
Yes, we have to improve our productivity. There has been a long term declining trend. We have now arrested it and we have to do everything we possibly can to make sure we have an upward trend in the future.
