Mr. Speaker, the credibility of the Minister of Finance took another big hit this week when he admitted that he does not care about this whole balanced budget thing. Let us flash back to what he said on his very first day in this House:
We intend on getting to a balanced budget during the term of our mandate.
Five months later, he is laughing it off.
Why does he not understand that Canadians deserve a finance minister who takes the job of managing their money seriously?
