Mr. Speaker, I have to smile, because a few years ago, during the Quebec referendum, this member was saying that Quebec had to leave Canada because the country was being mismanaged, was in debt and on the verge of bankruptcy. Today he is criticizing the federal government for having managed things too well and for having a surplus because here in Ottawa we are doing things right.
In the House of Commons on November 19th, 2002. See this statement in context.
