Mr. Speaker, in my previous answer I provided what I believe are sound numbers, which say very clearly what Canada's deficit and debt situation is compared to the other G7 countries in the world, which are the most influential or powerful countries. Canada is positioned quite well on the debt issue. We are number one in the G7 and number two in the deficit situation. We actually have a AAA credit rating. We are only one of two countries in the G7 that has a AAA credit rating.
Does the member not see that there is a time when we should be investing in Canada's infrastructure and its people? Why does the Conservative Party not want to see a government that invests in Canadians?
