Madam Speaker, I would just like to remind my colleague that, according to an international convention, budgets must include all expenditures for every single year. When a government spends money, it must include those expenditures in the budget. If Canada changes the rules, we are changing the whole way things are done internationally. As a result, our budget will no longer have any credibility and it will no longer be considered by rating agencies. Members can guess what will happen after that.
In the House of Commons on November 24th, 2025. See this statement in context.
