Mr. Speaker, I have only to ask the hon. member to read the answer just given by the Minister of Finance. At the time when the Tories were in power we had 11.5% unemployment, a $42 billion deficit, 11.5% interest rates and we were bankrupt. We are in a much better position today than we were in those days.
In the House of Commons on October 31st, 2001. See this statement in context.
