Mr. Speaker, according to The Globe and Mail, tensions are growing between the Prime Minister and the Minister of Finance over spending measures such as the election gimmick of cutting the GST for Christmas. Even their own officials say that this $6.28‑billion expense is fiscally unwise.
We all know that the Prime Minister has lost control and that the Minister of Finance is going to break her promise of keeping the deficit below $40 billion.
Does the minister understand that she has a responsibility and that she has to say stop when the Prime Minister makes ridiculous demands?
