The finance minister said that COVID is a time for epiphanies. The Prime Minister had a strange and, for him, unusual epiphany in his letter to her. He said, “you will avoid creating new permanent spending” in the budget. That is right in the mandate letter.
Will the finance minister honour the Prime Minister's letter and avoid all permanent new spending, yes or no?
