Mr. Speaker, earlier the Minister of Finance said, “here are the facts”. We are the ones who have the real facts.
According to the Fiscal Monitor published by the Department of Finance, from April to November 2015, there was a $1-billion budgetary surplus. That fact is straight from the Department of Finance.
What is this government's plan for the coming years? Is it to rack up a $150-billion deficit?
Does the government realize that putting our children in debt does not create wealth? Helping small businesses is what really creates wealth and what really creates jobs.
