Mr. Speaker, the reality is this.
While this government spends Canadians' hard-earned money, while it plays the same old tune, our energy sector is stalling. Liberal decisions are driving away foreign investment, which has declined by 50% so far, businesses are less competitive because of bad tax reforms, and 80% of Canadian families are paying more taxes today than three years ago under the previous government.
The question I want to ask the Prime Minister is simple and the answer was in his election platform: when will we return to a balanced budget?
