Washington's $500-billion deficit. Chrétien's Liberals
have posted a string of budget surpluses.

Chretien said he had every right to comment on the U.S. deficit given the number of times
U.S. Ambassador Paul Cellucci had called on Canada to increase defense spending.
"How many times have we heard that? That's fine, I don't take it personally.

say weeks, where we don't hear about it," he said.

announced in a 20-word statement from the press secretary, is the largest on record.
