Mr. Speaker, the Parliamentary Budget Officer has confirmed that the Liberal budget deficit is twice as large as projected because the government is disguising spending as investment. The Parliamentary Budget Officer said that "the Government’s definition of capital investments is overly expansive". He even suggests that this subjective definition be reviewed by independent experts. If Justin Trudeau had used this method, he would have balanced the budget every other year and would have practically been accused of austerity. In short, it is a sham.
Why are the Liberals hiding the real numbers from Quebeckers?
