Mr. Speaker, I congratulate my colleague—a former Quebec finance minister, economist and former banker—on his speech.
The Liberal government's budget contains some creative accounting of Olympic proportions. It passes off expenditures as capital investments. Here is an example: Security for FIFA is considered a capital investment, not an expense. The budget contains other examples like that, and it will be really interesting to dig them all up.
Is my colleague opposite, who is an economist, a former finance minister and a banker, not embarrassed to have his name associated with a budget that contains such creative accounting, to put it politely?
