Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives are the only ones who are self-interested. Since my hon. colleague says that we are not following the recommendations made by our officials or departmental staff, I will quote the Update of Economic and Fiscal Projections 2015:
The Government will pursue an approach to fiscal management that is realistic, sustainable, prudent and transparent.
This Update of Economic and Fiscal Projections reviews the federal government’s economic and fiscal outlook, which has deteriorated since the previous Government presented the budget in April 2015.
The Canadian economy contracted in the first half of 2015...
These economic developments have led to a downward adjustment to the fiscal outlook.
These developments have reduced the projected budgetary balance by about $6.0 billion per year, on average, relative to Budget 2015...
These are the fiscal projections inherited by this Government.
Why does my colleague opposite keep telling Canadians things that are not true?
