Madam Speaker, we know the NDP's track record when it comes to finances. It left a $10 billion deficit in Ontario and in B.C. with its abysmal record on finances. Once again its members do not understand the basic elements.
I wonder if the hon. member overheard that somewhere. It is interesting that when the facts are on the table the member feels awkward. Only when he hears it from comments will he then respond appropriately.
The government has paid the surplus. That is why there is a surplus and that is what we are dealing with.
