No. If you're, again, not going to answer the question, we'll move on to another question. You still refuse, despite being the Minister of Finance, who ought to have some kind of plan.
This was a promise. You ran in 2015. You promised a balanced budget following a generational investment in infrastructure. The investment didn't happen. The infrastructure didn't get built. Ten years later, you promised the same thing. You didn't deliver. You didn't balance the budget, and you refuse to even respond to any questions about a balanced budget.
Let me bring to your attention this morning's PBO report. We just got this. It was tabled just before you arrived here. I haven't had a chance to read the whole thing, but I got to page 13, where the PBO says, “we estimate that the likelihood that the deficit-to-GDP ratio will decline in every year over 2026-27 to 2030-31 is less than 1 per cent.”
Minister, you have cut loose every fiscal anchor your government has ever given itself, and now the PBO says that you have a 1% chance of meeting your new fiscal anchor. What credibility do you think you have on any fiscal matter?
