It was music to my ears when you talked about returning to balanced budgets in 2023-24. This country needs to get back to balance and stop spending the dollars that our children and our grandchildren, and their children, are going to have to pay for the programs that we're incurring here now, because we're all going to have problems. You talk about the systemic problems that are going to emerge in society. There are going to be payments to be made in the future.
I want to talk about the $560 billion that went out the door since the pandemic. As the Parliamentary Budget Officer indicated, $170 billion of that was discretionary spending, and had nothing to do with the pandemic. Is that something we can move backwards on very quickly to get back to a balance?
