Mr. Speaker, the government has a red book that is symbolic of the red ink that flows from its policies.
Last fall the finance minister presented a grey book which is symbolic of these grey compromises between spending cuts and tax increases. Now it is abundantly clear that the government lacks what it takes to balance a budget, just like Mulroney and Wilson in 1984.
Will the Prime Minister confirm that the colour scheme for the budget that his minister will deliver next Monday will be pale yellow?
