Mr. Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for the question.
Our vision is completely different than that of the Conservatives. We are going to invest in growth. We have lowered taxes for nine million Canadians and will continue to have measures for the middle class. We will do this in a responsible manner and we will continue to work to achieve our objective of reducing the debt to GDP ratio during our term.
It has always been our goal to balance the books in a more difficult economic context. However, our priority is to work for this country's middle class.
