Mr. Speaker, it is not clear that the finance minister is actually in it with the Prime Minister. According to the Globe and Mail, the Prime Minister's office “has given internal direction for an aggressive and possibly costly policy agenda” that threatens to “[blow] past the spending targets she has already...publicly [stated] for the government”.
The finance minister promised the deficit would be capped at $40 billion, acknowledging that if it went over it would cause even more inflation. That means hungry Canadians lined up at food banks.
Once again, will the government meet the minister's promise to keep the deficit under $40 billion?
