Mr. Speaker, the question was about ethics, not economics, especially not the nonsense economics we just heard.
Canadians want to know the unvarnished truth about the economy, not sugar coating and deception. Only yesterday, Kevin Page, the Parliamentary Budget Officer, confirmed that of course the Prime Minister knew about the deficit during the election.
Why, in the Prime Minister's own words, did the idea of a deficit go all the way from stupid to essential in just a few short weeks?
