Mr. Speaker, today the Reform Party outlined a taxpayers' budget that would eliminate the deficit in three years through spending cuts alone.
We did so because many Canadians believe, and the international money markets agree, that the Liberal government's deficit reduction target is too weak and that the government is squandering its one opportunity to get federal spending under control.
Will the Minister of Finance, even at this late date, even if it means putting an addendum into his budget, revise the upcoming federal budget to set a firm target date for the elimination of the deficit rather than just its reduction?
