Mr. Speaker, I would like to remind the Canadian public at home that Canada has the lowest deficit in the G7 and the lowest net debt-to-GDP ratio in the G7. However, the government recognizes that there is really important work to do to make tough choices. That is why our budget is going to be coming out November 4.
The member mentioned that the government is not trying to be transparent. It is actually trying to be more transparent by showing Canadians where operational spending is and where long-term capital investments are happening to grow our economy.
I find it a bit rich when Conservatives talk about balancing budgets and deficits. Can the hon. member explain why they promised to spend $106 billion in their platform a few months ago? How was that fiscally responsible? How can she stand in this House and suggest the Conservatives are the moral authority on budgeting?
