April 26, 1950 (21st Parliament, 2nd Session)

Mr. Hellyer:

Before I take my seat, I think I will just close by saying that I have every confidence in both the administration and the Minister of Finance and his officials, to maintain equilibrium, to maintain our purchasing power and to keep in this country that degree of economic buoyancy which is necessary to provide ample employment, and an increasingly higher standard of living for those apostles who keep interrupting with their gloomy remarks from the opposite side of the house. I have every confidence that there will be no depression in this country. A depression is not necessary.
