It took a $15 billion surplus and moved it to a deficit position before the great financial recession even set in.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4176712\" data-originallang=\"en\">I will state that we are in a very low interest rate environment. My humble advice would be for the government to undertake strategic investments in infrastructure to help grow our economy.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4176713\" data-originallang=\"en\">With that, our debt-to-GDP ratio will continue to decline under this government and we will balance the budget, as we have indicated, at the end of the four-year period.</p>",

Je conseillerais humblement au gouvernement de faire des investissements strat\u00e9giques dans les infrastructures pour stimuler l'\u00e9conomie.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4176713\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ainsi, notre ratio dette-PIB continuera de baisser sous le pr\u00e9sent gouvernement et nous \u00e9quilibrerons le budget, comme nous l'avons dit, \u00e0 la fin de la p\u00e9riode de quatre ans.</p>"
