Mr. Speaker, in response to that question, I would like to say first of all that Canadians sent a strong message and a strong mandate to Parliament. That mandate is twofold.
This government has a strong record of fiscal management and responsibility. Canadians said they want to continue with that record and take that into the future.
The second mandate we have is to work together. The Speech from the Throne outlined what this government will do. We will continue to provide Canadians with sound fiscal management. We have a plan. We want to see Canadians from coast to coast supported. We want to see the economy strengthened.
This is the time to work together. I look forward to working with all the members in the House, not arguing and fighting, but working together for Canadians.
