Mr. Speaker, the Parliamentary Budget Officer estimates that chances of the government meeting its spending reduction targets are roughly 7%.
I will give an example. At the Canada Revenue Agency, the software that is currently being used to process our taxes dates back to the 1980s. Apparently, it is on a black screen with purple text. After not doing any modernization for decades, now the government wants to introduce artificial intelligence and reduce the number of workers at the Canada Revenue Agency. We are told that this is going to save money while providing better service. This is one example that comes to mind when we consider whether the Liberals are likely to meet their spending reduction targets.
Does my colleague think the Liberals are going to meet their spending reduction targets? If they do not, how much bigger will the deficits be in the coming years?
