Mr. Speaker, I hope I do not get the Conservatives too fired up this time.
The hon. member, speaking for the government, wants our support. I direct her attention to a table on page 287, which is the increase in the national debt during the government's administration. In this table alone, we go from $582 billion up to the better end of $634 billion before it is apparently going to magically start to decline. If we went back to when the Conservatives became government, it has gone from about $450 billion up to close to $634 billion. It has gone from less than 30% of GDP to now in the order of 34% of GDP. The take on the revenues out of the economy has gone up to 14.5%.
How in heaven's name can she reasonably expect opposition parties to support a government that is paying for its mismanagement by simply running away with debt?
