Mr. Speaker, as is usual, the Prime Minister was wrong in the choice he presented them.
He said that the deficit this year would be $6 billion; instead, it is $18 billion, three times bigger. He said that next year the budget would be balanced, and now we learn that it will not be for another quarter of a century, during which time he will add, or some future government will add, a half a trillion dollars in debt, presuming there is no more spending.
Once again, when will the budget be balanced?
