Mr. Speaker, first, let me simply say to the Leader of the Opposition that he should not be a bit surprised by the great support that the government has for his position and his remaining in that position.
In terms of who is minding the store, when the store was being minded by somebody else here in the House, yesterday the Prime Minister gave the following quote, which answers the hon. member's question. This is a quote from the IMF. It says “The strong policy framework in place has positioned the real and financial economy to cope with any new major economic shock”. Then, the IMF goes on to say “The Canadian authorities are to be highly commended by their policy accomplishments”.
