Mr. Speaker, I will be a good sport and congratulate the minister once again on all his efforts to speak French.
Niceties aside, it is hard to take him seriously when he talks about public finances. Those folks over there were elected on a promise to run small deficits, but deficits are three times larger than planned. They also promised a zero deficit in 2019, but they actually have no idea when we will return to a balanced budget. Today they want us to simply trust them with $7 billion. The answer is no.
Why is the government being so secretive?
