Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech and for the eloquent answer he just gave.
I want to go back to the issue of the deficit announced in the budget, which is $78 billion this year. The government is saying that this includes so much investment that it is no longer calculating the deficit the way it did in the past. When we look at the details, we see, for example, the Parliamentary Budget Officer saying that “the Government's definition of capital investments is overly expansive”. He even suggests that this subjective definition be reviewed by independent experts. With that method, the Trudeau government's deficits were much smaller.
What are my hon. colleague's thoughts on that?
