Mr. Speaker, I would like to commend my colleague on her speech.
I agree with some of the things she said. One is that the Liberal government changed the accounting rules. This criticism was echoed by the Parliamentary Budget Officer. The Liberals are trying to hide a deficit with artificial assets of $45 billion out of $78 billion. That is basically tantamount to trying to deceive people, at least those who have a basic understanding of accounting and finance.
That said, I have a question for my colleague. I do not understand the Conservatives' position. They told us that they would not support the budget if the deficit exceeded $42 billion. I do not hear them criticizing the government's policies. Based on what I see, this is a Conservative budget. There are cuts to government spending, cuts to the public service and 15,000 people are at risk of being laid off. There is unprecedented spending in the military sector. There are tax credits for oil and gas companies to the tune of $100 billion until 2040.
Give me a break. This is such a Conservative budget that Conservatives are crossing the floor to join the Liberals. I would like my colleague to specifically tell me what she does not like about the budget policies, apart from the deficit.
