Minister, right now, Canadians need a Ph.D. to find the bottom line. They want a clear front-page summary, a simple table showing the big numbers up front instead of buried hundreds of pages deep. A one-page, at-a-glance summary means that taxpayers, journalists and MPs can all see at a glance how much is coming in, how much is going out and how deep we are in debt.
In the next budget, will the first 15 pages show a one-page, at-a-glance summary of total revenue, total spending, deficit surplus and debt, yes or no?
