Mr. Speaker, that is an excellent question, and I like comparisons. In the private sector, companies may sometimes run deficits because they are investing in the future and engaging in development activities. However, nobody in the private sector loses money every year for 10, 11, 12 or 15 years and pats themselves on the back for it.
Never getting back to balance and accountability is a major mistake. This is people's money the government is spending. That money belongs to hard-working people.
As I mentioned earlier, 98% of Canadian businesses are SMEs. In Quebec, it is 99%. These people work hard every day, pay their taxes and struggle to make ends meet while the Liberals spend their money recklessly. It is disrespectful, and it is certainly not the way the public expects the government to manage things.
