Mr. Speaker, our economy is under attack from what we thought was a trusted neighbour. It is that fact that has led to the economic difficulties we have had this year. It is not government spending that is leading to inflation. It is the reckless politics and the reckless actions of our neighbours to the south.
The deficit will be known on November 4.
I will end with this, and I think many Canadians will agree. Social programs are not slogans. Social programs are important and are a main feature of what makes Canada Canada.
