Glen Motz on Budget 2025 Implementation Act, No. 1

Mr. Speaker, I was going to say in French that my colleague is absolutely correct. I thank him for the information. I thank him for the realization that the government fails to recognize, which is that it can use all the accounting tricks it wants, but the reality is that we have a debt problem in this country. We have a debt problem for consumers, for governments and for businesses, which are struggling to make ends meet. We can have all the tricks in the world with the operating and the capital budget, and all that accounting, saying, “It is not here; it is over here. We can have the public lose track of it”, but I say no. There is one debt payer, and there is one debt. It is costing us a fortune. This $55.6 billion will continue to go up every year because of the government's reckless spending and mismanagement of our taxpayer dollars.
