Mr. Speaker, which forecast is the minister speaking of, Thursday night's or Friday morning's?
The minister has met every deficit target he has ever set. He has no plans to return Canada into the balanced budget produced by the last Liberal government.
Now that the minister seems to agree with the Parliamentary Budget Officer that a balanced budget in five years is unlikely, Canadians want to know, when will the budget be balanced and where is the minister's plan to get it there?
