Mr. Speaker, what is the point of making promises that the Liberals do not intend or try to even keep? In 2020, the finance minister said that when the need for stimulus was over, it would be withdrawn. The Liberals did not withdraw it. Then it was that the debt-to-GDP ratio would continue to go down, except one year later, it went up. Then she said the deficit would be less than $40.1 billion, and lo and behold, we find out she broke that promise too. When will someone at least admit these folks are committing economic vandalism and tell us what the deficit is, or are they just worried it is going to shred all the credibility she has left?
