A point I'd like to make while you're here with your officials is that the government is on track to balance the budget, but as the Prime Minister reminds us, we're not there yet, and it requires work and commitment to the budget that had been submitted going forward.
To me, it's very important that we do balance the books. I believe you're committed to that, but this is a large federal government and we could see slippage. If I was on another committee, I'd be asking the exact same questions to that minister as well. What are you doing to ensure that the Government of Canada will hit its balanced budget as planned, as targeted, and as promised to the Canadian people?
