Mr. Speaker, in a statement to the House on February 19, the Prime Minister reminded us of the promise he made during the last election campaign to devote half of any budget surpluses to social programs.
Last week, we learned that, so far, all the surpluses have gone towards paying down the debt, and that nothing has been put towards social programs or reducing taxes.
After going back on his promise to scrap the GST, after going back on his promise to introduce pay equity, is the Prime Minister not embarrassed to break his promise to use half of the surplus to help the health sector?
