Mr. Speaker, I was very interested in my colleague's speech. He has a way of putting into simple words a very important concept and that is that Canadians are taxed to the hilt and they are sick and tired of it.
One thing that rather interested me was the way the government keeps doing its accounting and trying to communicate to Canadians that they are doing just fine and everything is tickety-boo, everything is clicking along whether it is or not, because the communications do not always agree with it.
I was quite surprised to hear the member from Port Moody—Coquitlam announce that the government has paid down $30 billion on the debt because I had not heard about that. It was news to me, but maybe I just have not picked up the newspaper today to read this announcement.
I made a phone call asking about this and apparently it is true. Can my colleague who just spoke comment on where he thinks this money came from? Does he know anything about this? How wonderful that the government is paying off the debt.
