Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister has lost control of his spending and his cabinet. He is also bullying the finance minister into crashing through the $40-billion deficit guardrail.
Even Liberal MPs are uncomfortable with the financial consequences. Ask the member for Saint John—Rothesay, who was quoted calling for “fiscal restraint”, or the member for Thunder Bay—Rainy River, who said that he wanted a “zero deficit”, which we all know is not going to happen with the NDP-Liberal government.
If the finance minister crashes the deficit through the $40-billion guardrail, will the feckless Prime Minister allow a free vote for his MPs?
