Mr. Speaker, the Minister of Finance basically released his annual financial report. On page 2 of that report the minister acknowledged that he massaged the personal income tax collection figures for the previous year to take $3 billion out of revenue in 1994.
Using the real figures, will the Minister of Finance acknowledge that the 1994 deficit was only $39 billion and that the 1995 deficit is exactly $38.7 billion, which means that the deficit has not come down hardly at all?
