Mr. Speaker, my colleague is absolutely right. We hate debt too. There is one thing we are going to do that the Liberal Party did not do. When the Liberals had to decrease the debt, they cut transfers to the provinces for health care. It was shameful. The Liberals cut $25 billion out of the transfers to the provinces. We do not think that is the way to go. We do not think that is the priority for Canadians.
If the member will read the budget, the Minister of Finance has put together a plan to return us to surplus, which is extremely important. I compare that to what the Liberal leader offered in his reply to the Speech from the Throne.
We have to choose between strong economic leadership and basically no plan from the opposition. We have a strong vision for Canada and the opposition parties have the vacuous ramblings of a coalition. They are only interested in power. We have a plan for the future and all they have are empty promises with no costing. I think the choice is clear.
