Mr. Chair, we believe it is important for us to come to a fiscally responsible way to manage the Canadian budget. We have made investments that have led to a very strong economic position. We have done that in a fiscally responsible way. We will continue to do that. We will drive to a lower amount of debt as a function of our GDP. Notwithstanding the $150 billion of debt put on by Stephen Harper's government, we believe we can continue to manage that down in a responsible way.
