Mr. Speaker, the minister claims that his budget protects social programs from unfair unnecessary cuts, but the real social cut is lurking in the massive unnecessary interest charges that this government is irresponsibly building by not attacking the deficit more quickly.
This means that when Liberal social cuts come, as they will, they will be bigger and more desperate and more destructive than Canadians could imagine.
Will the finance minister honestly admit to Canadians that he has put social programs in the gravest of jeopardy by failing to balance the budget more quickly when he had the chance?
