Mr. Speaker, every Canadian should be thanking their lucky stars that we have a Parliamentary Budget Officer whose job it is to be independent and honest about the state of government deficits, debts and spending. The budget watchdog, last week, called out the creative accounting in the Prime Minister's credit card budget, saying that he is using “a definition of capital investment that expands beyond the current treatment in the Public Accounts and international practice”.
In other words, the Prime Minister is cooking the books, and his out-of-control deficit is pouring more gas on the debt and deficit fires.
How many more alarms must go off for the Prime Minister to rein in his spending in his credit card budget?
