Mr. Speaker, let me welcome my new colleague to the House of Commons. It is always great to have one's first speech the first time one is in the House of Commons. I apologize; I did not recognize the member. I thought it was the twin brother of the member who held that seat before him, who said exactly the opposite things in the previous Parliament, which ran this country up to a $1.3-trillion debt, with $56 billion per year in interest payments on debt alone. One would think that something changed overnight in the thinking of those in the bench on the other side.
My question for the member is very pointed. In this new accounting system his Prime Minister has come up with about putting in a different silo for infrastructure and capital assets and a different silo for operating expenses, how much more or less in debt and how much more or less in debt interest payments will the Government of Canada be paying?
