Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister has lost control of spending and his cabinet. Next week's fall update is teeing up to be yet another dramatic disaster because, at this point, we are not even sure who the finance minister is going to be by Monday.
The Globe and Mail reports that tensions between the Prime Minister and the finance minister have never been worse and are getting more intense by the day. She wanted to run a gigantic $40-billion deficit, what she called her guardrail. The Prime Minister is pushing her through that guardrail and over the fiscal cliff. We have now learned that he wants to humiliate her further by firing her and replacing her with carbon tax Carney. Even Liberal MPs are calling out all this chaos by saying that the federal budget is “not an unlimited pot” and “we...need to show fiscal restraint.” That is a little late after nine years.
This week, the Prime Minister has lost control of immigration, the border, spending, inflation, the debt and even his ministers. Meanwhile, common-sense Conservatives on this side are fully united behind our leader and are ready for a carbon tax election.
