Mr. Speaker, I greatly appreciate the correction made by my colleague from Louis-Saint-Laurent.
I want to tell him that it has been a very long time since the Conservatives managed to balance a budget. They had surpluses in 1871, 1912, 2006 and 2007. They left surpluses, but they always inherited them from the Liberals. They have not balanced a budget in about 140 years. When he talks about deficits, he is not being quite honest.
I will stop there, but I am interested in hearing the questions from the member for Louis-Saint-Laurent.
