Mr. Speaker, we are glad to see that the finance minister is making up with the prime minister. That is wonderful.
In 1993 the finance minister said no government can operate effectively when its projections fall consistently short of the mark. Yet now even he refuses to set a mark. Is this 50:50 shell game a deliberate attempt to bamboozle the public and to pick the pockets of the Canadian public? That is what we want to know.
