Mr. Speaker, I have never seen a parliamentary secretary attack his own department for saying that the budget was balanced.
Not only are the Liberals blowing Canada's hard-won surplus, now they plan to help their Ontario Liberal friends impose a new job-killing payroll tax and a new tax on everything, a tax on carbon. All of that means fewer jobs and lower income.
Why in the world would the Liberals be killing jobs through higher taxes, particularly at a time of economic fragility?
