Mr. Speaker, we have managed the economy in a way that, for example, this year the spending of the government will be 12% of GDP. That is the lowest in 50 years. We have managed to have more revenues because we have 1.6 million more Canadians who are working who did not have jobs when we were elected in 1993.
In the House of Commons on March 2nd, 1999. See this statement in context.
