There are a lot of different things mushed together there, but let me make some key points that matter for Canadians.
First of all, I do share what seems to be your point—that it is important for government to be effective. That's why our exercise in refocusing government spending for a total of $15 billion is a really important exercise. It's important to show Canadians that we are careful, and we think it is important to be sure that money is spent where it can have the greatest impact for Canadians—for example, on things like dental care.
When it comes to our numbers and projections, I made a commitment in the fall economic statement to hit some specific fiscal guide-rails, and I will live by that commitment. Today is not the day that we're presenting the budget, but we are going to hit those guide-rails.
