Mr. Speaker, our government is holding a steady course on job protection and economic growth. We will continue to create and maintain jobs thanks to the 12,000 stimulus projects currently underway across the country.
We will start to reduce the deficit when the economy is back on track and we will also open up new markets for Canadian goods and services.
We have consulted Canadians across the country and they want our government to continue to focus on the economy and not be like the members across the way who have done nothing but talk for almost 20 years now.
We are assuming our responsibilities and we will continue to do so.
