Madam Speaker, my friend brings up a very valid point. This is what the economist Trevor Tombe was referring to, the difference between reality and truth. There is a large gap between the truth of what the budget is and the rhetoric the Liberals are presenting.
The budget constantly talks about how they are changing how they record their expenses to do so as England does. However, when we actually look at it, the United Kingdom has a very narrow definition of capital. The government has expanded the definition of capital so much that $90 billion of its supposed capital is actually operating. It is purely an attempt to hide from Canadians the true facts that the government can only spend and spend to produce substandard results, results that have led to two million Canadians a month going to the food bank, to the highest housing prices and to the highest deficit we have seen outside the COVID period.
