Mr. Speaker, yesterday, the fall economic statement confirmed what the former finance minister, the Parliamentary Budget Officer and The Globe and Mail already told us, that the weak and now wounded Prime Minister hijacked the statement to drive Canada through the fiscal guardrail and over a cliff. There is $62 billion in overspending. This is 50% higher than their own target set just months ago. They told us over and over again that the deficit would not exceed $40 billion.
I have a simple question: Why did they mislead Canadians again?
