Mr. Speaker, I thank my friend for his question.
In difficult times, families and governments alike must make difficult decisions. To have a more effective government with clear priorities, we may end up doing less than was done in years past. However, maintaining our fiscal position with banks and investors is also important. It is very important.
The November 4 budget will show us how the government plans to achieve that. I hope that my colleague will support our budget, because it is there to protect our economy, Canadians and Quebeckers.
