Mr. Speaker, the Minister of Finance has developed a fondness for lecturing Canadians on their household debt. Unfortunately for us, he has no compunction about maxing out Canada's credit card.
On Saturday, the Conservatives will have run up the national debt to over $600 billion; an ugly milestone if ever there was one. In a mere six years, they have added $142 billion to the national debt after being handed a $13 billion surplus by the Liberals.
When will the Minister of Finance start practising what he preaches?
