Mr. Chair, I know this is inconvenient for the member opposite, but the kind of investments that we have made have created the lowest unemployment rate since 1976. Canadians appreciate that we have been in a strong growth position, with the fastest growth among G7 countries. These are very positive positions that our country and individuals are in. We have been able to do that while continuing to reduce our debt as a function of GDP. The fact that we are in a positive economic situation is good for Canadians, and we will try to manage the risks in a prudent way as a result of that positive situation.
