Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member from the NDP.
Indeed, we have to pay off some of the debt, but we should not put all our eggs in one basket, as I was saying earlier.
We absolutely must help Canadians and Quebeckers who are struggling, whether economically or socially. The social fabric of a society is of paramount importance.
Programs that help citizens have to be introduced, but we should not neglect the debt. However, we must not pay down the debt at the expense of our fellow human beings.
