Mr. Chair, my question was very simple and was directly related to what the Prime Minister of Canada said. He said that higher gas prices were exactly what he wanted. The Minister of Finance was unable to answer my question about what he thinks the ideal gas price is. Canadians can see right through that kind of evasion.
Let's talk about evasion. Two and a half years ago, the government promised to save $3 billion. In March, a Department of Finance investigation revealed that not a penny of that $3 billion in savings ever materialized. That was in March.
Can the Minister of Finance tell us how much money he has saved since March through public spending cuts?
