Madam Speaker, I am certain my colleague said more than he intended to when he said he heard nothing but platitudes from the government side. I will not even ask for an apology from him. I know he means well.
I would, however, like to point something out and take advantage of this opportunity to ask one little question of him. He has said, as you know, that the technical error started to show up in the accounting back in 1993, in other words that what was required to quantify the consequences of this technical error was in place.
At that same time, from 1990 to 1995, Ontario had an NDP government, which managed to take its deficit from $5 billion to, I believe, $15 billion within a single mandate, with all that technical information available.
I would like to ask my colleague whether they intend to follow the same principles as the Ontario NDP government applied at that time, or whether they intend to correct their platform.
