Mr. Speaker, there has been no regular pattern but there was an update scheduled for June 11, which now sounds like it is off.
The new finance minister said yesterday that he has been closely associated with the government's fiscal policies. Does that mean that he agrees with the 10% increase in spending in last year's budget? Does he agree with the former finance minister's decision not to reallocate one penny from low priority areas like corporate welfare to high priority areas like national defence and health care?
Will this finance minister commit to controlling spending and to restoring fiscal responsibility to the government's fiscal plans?
