Mr. Speaker, I would like to take a moment to thank the member for her hard work on this file.
Last year we set out a three-point plan to return to budget balance by winding down the temporary stimulus, putting in place targeted spending restraint measures, and reviewing government administrative and overhead costs.
This year we are building on that plan by delivering on the 2010 strategic reviews, closing tax loopholes and launching a one-year government-wide strategic and operating review.
We remain on track to balance our budget by 2015-16.
