Mr. Speaker, the member made reference to Canada and the whole deficit and debt situation. It is important to recognize that when we look at G7 countries, we are number one on debt. We are number two, I believe, on the deficit situation. We have a AAA credit rating. In fact, if we compared Canada's deficit this year to the deficit in 2009, when the member's leader sat in the Conservative caucus, and we factored in inflation, the leader of the Conservative Party's caucus back then would have had a higher deficit.
I wonder if he could provide his thoughts on that.
