Mr. Speaker, yesterday, the Parliamentary Budget Officer said that he anticipated lower growth for the Canadian economy to the tune of $22 billion. He said that the Conservatives' decision to get rid of measures that support economic stimulus and job creation would mean at least 125,000 fewer jobs for the Canadian economy.
A few hours later, the Minister of Finance was forced to lower his own estimates.
Why is the Prime Minister getting rid of the economic stimulus measures and sacrificing 125,000 jobs?
