Mr. Speaker, I will address both parts of the member's question.
First, I do not have rose-coloured glasses on. I look at the economy through the eyes of a chartered accountant, because that is my profession. I am a fiscally prudent and responsible member of the community. I also look at the economy through the lens of a parent and a partner in a wonderful marriage in which we never spend more money than we have. This is a radical concept to many people, but it is one that really has to catch on. That is a very important component in our analysis.
As far as manufacturing jobs are concerned, as we have indicated in all of our remarks throughout the day, we are providing the manufacturing sector with the kind of support it has not received for many years. Perhaps my hon. colleague is confusing our comments with the comments of the Liberal leader, who wants to shut manufacturing facilities down.
