Mr. Speaker, when the current Prime Minister was the finance minister and first put in that position in 1993, he had a very tough job to do. It was called getting the deficit down and balancing the books.
Now, as the Prime Minister, he has another very tough job to do. I guarantee the House that he will do it.
