Mr. Speaker, the member for Westmount—Ville-Marie was sitting in the House in 2008 when we were in a global recession. People were concerned. What I heard was the opposition saying spend more money. I hate to imagine what the deficit would have been had we listened. We chose to do targeted, timely spending, along with our G7 counterparts. It worked. We had a plan.
We are turning back to balanced budgets. I am glad we were the government of the day. Had we not been at the helm, the deficit would have been absolutely phenomenal had we listened to the opposition.
