Madam Speaker, there is snow on the ground. It is pretty cold in the capital and Canadians from coast to coast are putting up Christmas trees, but the finance minister is stuck in fantasyland. Somehow, she still thinks it is fall. She is weeks behind on delivering the fall economic statement to the House and to Canadians. The Parliamentary Budget Officer says that the minister blew past her deficit reduction targets, adding more inflationary spending and crippling debt, which Canadians will have to pay. However, we do not know for sure because she is nowhere to be found.
When will the finance minister tell Canadians just how much money she spent?
