Mr. Speaker, the people who are being laid off really do not think it is a joking matter. They are pretty concerned about it.
Canadians are also increasingly concerned about our low and sinking dollar. The 2001 Economic Freedom of the World Report found that Canada has fallen from seventh to thirteenth in terms of competitiveness. It is pretty clear that we need some action right away.
The Prime Minister talked a minute ago about tax cuts at some point in the past. I argue that we need tax cuts again.
Why will the Prime Minister not talk today about bringing down a new round of tax cuts and cutting job killing red tape to put Canadians back to work?
