Mr.Speaker, I want to ask the hon. member a question. She seemed to get off on a bit of a tangent thinking that all these government
departments had overspent. If they spend their budget, she thinks they have overspent. I recognize the trait.
However, sometimes there are reallocations of priorities in the way governments spend their money. That sometimes happens. In this case, I think the government considered what it might do and reallocated some priorities and spent more in some departments that it did in others.
Perhaps the member could answer a question about overspending. I believe her party ran into a lot of trouble with overspending. It was unable to organize its finances and I understand it is running a big deficit.
Does the member not think that the same rules that ought to apply to government ought to apply to a party? Does the member not think that the party ought to get its own finances in order before it criticizes the Government of Canada?
