Mr. Speaker, since this government took office in 1993 it has added about $80 billion to our federal debt. To pay off that $580 billion mortgage would require payments of about $50 billion a year for 25 years. That is $3,300 from every taxpayer in the country every year and until the Minister of Finance is 85 years old.
When will the government finally give Canadians a tangible and workable debt reduction plan?
