So you don't have the details. Okay.
At the time when the Hon. Paul Martin was Minister of Finance, we in the Bloc Québécois had discovered his strategy.
Every year, and in every budget, he underestimated revenue by a few percentage points. Applying a conversion factor, we could predict the amount of his surplus or the leeway he had at the end of the year.
Budgets today seem to be based on market growth predictions. However, I am concerned about the lapsed authorities. I am afraid spending in recent years is being artificially inflated. Of course, there may have been more spending because of the pandemic.
When the deficit announced, $45.5 billion, and the lapsed votes from last year that were not spent, $41 billion, are looked at side by side, we have apparently achieved budget equilibrium.
Do you have an answer to give or comments to make about that assertion?
