Mr. Speaker, the best way for Canada to help everyone is to have a strong economy and in order to have a strong economy we need to have strong policies, not policies that destroy the capacity of our companies to win abroad.
I am very sad that the hon. member is not taking this issue seriously. What is at stake is a sentence in the budget. I will read it because it seems that the hon. member may not have read the budget very carefully. It says, “Budget 2007 proposes to eliminate the deductibility of interest income to invest in business operations”.
Eliminating the deductibility of interest is what is at stake. It is a wrong policy. It is wrong for Canadian families, wrong for Canadian jobs and wrong for Canadian workers.
