Madam Speaker, absolutely, when we have a surplus, we can examine a whole variety of things as possible ways to spend to stimulate the economy or improve productivity. That is why New Democrats like reductions on taxes on, for example, equipment that has to stay in Canada and other types of training that stays in Canada.
One of the problems with the budget, which the Liberals are now trying to reverse themselves on, is that we have $14 billion-plus of borrowed money. We had to borrow that money for the HST and the corporate tax cut reductions. We have to take that from the future of our youth, pay it out now and pay interest on it until we are back in surplus.
