Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague on the finance committee, who gives a great contribution and gave us an excellent indication today about what exactly is happening to our money supply here in Canada.
We were at the finance committee yesterday and one of the most senior members of the Department of Finance came to us. The member asked that senior member of the Department of Finance what Canada's debt is. The answer that came back to the member for Carleton was that they did not know. The member from finance was asked the same question later in the meeting, and the answer was that he did not know.
When are we going to get some finance officials who actually understand the metrics that are driving the economy of this country?
