Mr. Speaker, he would make a good employment minister for South Korea. As a side note, the Prime Minister told us there would be no consequences for doubling the national debt. In its economic update, however, the government now admits that next year, it will spend $52 billion, or $3,000 for every Canadian family, on interest on the debt. That means it will spend more on debt interest than on health care. Why is the Prime Minister spending more on bankers than on nurses?

Mr. Speaker, Canada has the lowest debt and deficit in the G7, and we have a AAA credit rating. At the same time, we have a responsible economic plan that will enable us to make the necessary investments in Canadians. We are building housing faster than ever. We are there with supports for dental care and child care. The Conservatives just want to make cuts, but we know that we need to invest in Canadians.
