Mr. Speaker, the question is for the Minister of Finance.
His own department reported in the Fiscal Monitor that from April to November 2015 there was a $1 billion budget surplus. We post surpluses, while they post deficits.
Yesterday, we voted on a motion to express confidence in the Deputy Minister of Finance and his team. The Liberals voted against it. The question is simple.
If the Minister of Finance does not have confidence in his deputy minister and his team, who does he trust with public finances?
