Mr. Speaker, first of all, I would like to congratulate my hon. colleague on becoming the co-chair of the Canada-China Legislative Association. I know she will do good work alongside Senator Gignac in that role.
It is interesting because we see Conservative members in the House sometimes suggesting that we need to engage with China to remove tariffs on canola, but at the same time, we see other Conservative members suggesting that any engagement with China is a bad thing. It is interesting to see the Conservatives not able to pick a lane on that. Maybe the member would like to opine on that.
On the debt question, it is important to recognize that we have a AAA credit rating. Both S&P and Moody’s have continued to maintain it. We have a stable debt-to-GDP ratio over time. To put it into perspective, we are spending less than 10¢ of every dollar on debt management. Under the Conservative government in the 1990s, it was 35¢. It is important to take that into consideration.
