In listening to some of Mr. Morneau's comments, I think he would echo a lot of those comments with respect to the lack of growth. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8006199\" data-originallang=\"en\">Is it a bridge too far, Mr. Asselin, to say that if this government continues to spend at the rate that's ever growing, at 2.5% or beyond, that we're going to start to put at risk some of our social policies, social benefits and some of the things that Canadians hold dearest, if we don't get our spending under control?</p>",
