Mr. Speaker, the problem for the Minister of Finance is that it will be Canadians, not people from around the world, who will be paying down our deficit.
Yesterday, the Minister of Infrastructure and Communities stated that 950 projects worth $11 billion have been approved, but according to the Infrastructure Canada database we are really talking about 860 projects worth $4.2 billion. In addition to these conflicting figures, there is another figure that stands out. It is the number one: one year of Liberal governance, one year of excessive spending, one year of deficit and fewer than 10 new projects under way so far.
When will this government start creating real jobs here in Canada?
