Mr. Speaker, I prefer to use the numbers of the Minister of Finance. His own polling shows that only a third of Canadians feel they are better off now than they were four years ago.
I wonder whether the Minister of Finance or the Prime Minister could tell us, in terms of the accountability that comes from having to table a budget, how many of the presidents from the Americas who were present in Quebec did the Prime Minister or the finance minister advise that we do not need to have a full and accountable budget month after month, maybe up to 24 months? How many presidents did they advise to say that was good policy?
