Mr. Speaker, “deficit” is a short word with only three syllables. It is easy to pronounce. Not only do the Liberals seem incapable of saying it, but they are afraid to even talk about it, because they have lost control. The Minister of Finance said she put in a guardrail to ensure that the deficit did not exceed $40 billion.
Why did the Prime Minister choose to listen to the advice of his old chum, Mark Carney, and force Canada's first female finance minister to break her promise and her $40-billion guardrail?
