Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question. I will do my best to answer in French.
With respect to the Minister of Finance's mandate letter, all I can do is repeat what the minister herself said today during question period.
We will reduce the debt-to-GDP ratio so that it reaches below 50%. Also, what we have targeted is a deficit that will hit just over 1% of GDP by 2025. What is important is that while some of the program spending is meant to be long-term, the large majority of it is for a three-year period, which is exactly what we committed to in the fall economic statement, and we are staying true to those words by targeting the bulk of the spending for the next three years only.
