Mr. Speaker, six months ago, the Prime Minister promised Canadians that he would get the deficit under control, that he would lower our debt and lower inflation. Instead, he has blown an $80-billion hole in the budget. The debt is climbing, inflation is climbing, and he has added $90 billion in new spending. That is over $5,000 for every family. Every dollar that the Prime Minister spends costs Canadians in higher taxes, higher inflation and more expensive debt.
With this budget, Canadians are paying champagne prices for tap water results, so why is he asking them to pay more?
