Mr. Speaker, Canadians expect their government to help them in their time of need, and we support those efforts.
However, the budget is also, by far, the biggest, most expensive in Canadian history. Our deficit has ballooned to a staggering $354 billion, and our national debt will soon reach an unimaginable $1.4 trillion. The budget fails to present a debt management plan that the Prime Minister had told his finance minister to deliver.
Why did the minister disregard the Prime Minister's directive? When will she deliver his debt management plan?
