Mr. Speaker, Stephen McNeil, the former Liberal premier of Nova Scotia, stated that if provinces continue to spend beyond their means, inflation will persist and continue to put pressure on household budgets.
Former Liberal minister John Manly also stated that it is like driving with one foot on the gas and the other on the brake. It is not a good plan for controlling the direction of the economy.
The Prime Minister is not listening to the opposition or to his Liberal friends. We have been clear: The government must balance the budget now.
Will the Prime Minister act in the interest of future generations?
