Mr. Speaker, this explanation does not wash with the auditor general. When the number one watchdog for the budget starts to bark, this House had better listen.
The auditor general said he cannot approve the federal budget without a major disclaimer. He says the government is guilty of “serious breaches” of accounting rules. This is a very serious charge and it demands an explanation from the Prime Minister.
Were the books cooked to hide the surplus from tax weary Canadians? Is that not the real reason?
