Mr. Speaker, we can trust it will do more of the same, and that record is going to be a record of failure.
I had hope the other day when the finance minister tabled his budget and looked up to the gallery, and we saw Mr. Chrétien. Thirty years ago, the Liberals had a problem with too much debt, too much spending and slow growth. What did they do? They went through an expenditure review and cut needless, wasteful duplicate spending. They balanced the budget in three years, and guess what happened. It turbocharged the Canadian economy. That is what this country needs to do again.
Instead, under the current Prime Minister, we are seeing the exact same playbook as the last prime minister, Justin Trudeau. We have had 10 years of slow, anemic growth. We need to turn it around. That will happen by getting our fiscal house in order, lowering taxes and getting out of the way so the private sector will build the homes and create the jobs that pay the paycheques that will get this country moving again.
