He will lose the only Ontario member he has in this House very quickly if he does not change his travelling plans.</p>\n<p>We have a good plan for reduction of the deficit. At the same time we are making sure the economy is working well. We will have managed to take the deficit from 6.2 per cent to 3 per cent in three years, as we said we would. It will be reduced gradually and eventually we will have a balanced budget.</p>\n<p>However, we are not like their friend in the United States by the name of Gingrich who is talking about balancing the books in 2002. We do not talk like that; in Canada we do it.</p>",
