Mr. Speaker, the government is preparing to table an economic update without a finance minister. No one, even among the Liberals, wants to take responsibility for it.
That is the ultimate proof that the government should not be racking up a record $60‑billion deficit just to hand out election goodies. It is racking up a deficit for measures that Quebeckers and businesses do not even want, measures that have been criticized by all economists, including those at the Department of Finance. It is not surprising that none of the Liberals want to take responsibility for that.
Will the Prime Minister do the right thing and backtrack?
