Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister knows that is just not true.
The previous Conservative government got through a global recession and came roaring back with the greatest job growth in the G7. That is the situation he inherited. He inherited great fortune, and not just personally, a global booming economy, lifting up Canada.
What did the Prime Minister do with that? He squandered it. He has racked up, now, almost $30 billion worth of deficits alone. Canadians are going to have to pay that back.
Will the Prime Minister finally admit that his budget is spiralling out of control, and that under his watch deficits are here to stay?
