Mr. Speaker, The Globe and Mail has reported that tensions are on the rise and that the weak Prime Minister is forcing the Minister of Finance to spend even more.

Canadians deserve to know how much the deficit is. Do not make them wait until Monday; tell us the number now.
In the House of Commons on December 10th, 2024. See this statement in context.
