Mr. Speaker, we built on the debt reduction that Prime Minister Martin took on because he was forced to, as a result of things getting so out of control.
However, this is not the Liberal government of Prime Minister Martin, which actually focused on getting fiscal responsibility on the table; this is a government that committed in 2015 to returning to balanced budgets, but the Liberals are not there. The interest on the debt will pretty soon be more than what we transfer to the provinces for health care. To be frank, that is shameful.
