Madam Speaker, we have known, for years now, the Conservative Party's approach to the minority government. The Conservatives have been wanting and calling for an election for well over two years now. What we have seen is that the Bloc has kind of coalesced and is working with the Conservatives more and more; it too would like to see an election. It is fine if the Bloc members want to adopt that attitude, but with respect to saying there is nothing in the fall economic statement in terms of important issues, exempting the Canada disability benefit from taxes is a very positive measure that is in the statement.
If the member and, in particular, Conservatives want to focus on the debt, let them take a look at the public debt charges since 1981 and compare them to the GDP, which is so critically important. Could the member provide his thoughts on comparing the debt to Canada's GDP?
