Mr. Speaker, let us see what the people had to say. Nancy Hughes Anthony, who is the head of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, said:
The government should have done more to set priorities...but instead they chose to increase the size of spending....
That is what the people are saying.
Why was there not one dime going to the national debt? We had hopes that we might see the debt retired in our lifetime. Now we see the debt piling up on the shoulders of our children and the debt payment program has been eliminated. Why not one dime to paying down the debt?
