Mr. Chair, the Minister of Finance knows full well that he inherited that situation when he became the finance minister. Our government left the house in order. Our country had the best debt-to-GDP ratio in the G7 when Canadians decided to make a change.
My question is this. Since the finance minister had a successful career on Bay Street, has he ever met a company head, an entrepreneur, or a manager who said they had no idea when they would balance their budget, as he is doing now?
