Madam Speaker, I thank the hon. member for her good question.
First, the government did away with balanced budgets. Second, it decided to do away with all budgets, not just balanced budgets. Why does the government not want to table a budget?
Usually governments love budgets because they present an opportunity to publish all the results, all the promises and all the work they are doing for Canadians. Usually, surveys show that there is a major increase in support for governments that table a budget, but this government does not want Canadians to see how it is ruining our public finances and what kind of trouble our country is in. That is why the government does not want to table a budget.
