Mr. Speaker, I think he is referring to his record. It is certainly not anything we proposed. It is simply not true.
The finance minister had to break every known accounting rule by pushing $2 billion of revenue from this year into next year in order to show a bare surplus. If he was treasurer of a public company that kind of snake oil would land him in court and out of a job.
There is no debt reduction, no tax relief, no support for health care or agriculture and yet he still had to cook the books in order to show a surplus. Why does he not just admit that he is leading the country back into deficit as the economic experts are telling us today?
