Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister can keep repeating the same thing over and over again like a broken record, but he is completely out to lunch.
I have the Liberal Party election platform right in front of me. It states in black and white, “After the next two fiscal years, the deficit will decline and our investment plan will return Canada to a balanced budget in 2019-20.”
He repeated that himself in the debates during the 2015 election campaign, specifically on August 6, September 17, September 25 and October 2.
I will therefore ask the Prime Minister once again: when will we return to a balanced budget?
