Yes, Mr Speaker, it was a question about borrowing. It was a question about debt, and on the weekend the Leader of the Opposition was asked by Barrie Cassidy to give a precise idea about how much he would borrow. He said, ‘It isn’t possible.’ So the truth is, and we know it now, their debt would not be a cent less than ours and they would not pay it off a day earlier—or perhaps maybe by just a little, because Joe would just go for $25 billion less. This is a farce.
