Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his excellent question, which allows me to return to an issue I mentioned briefly at the beginning of my speech.
From the outset, I asked how the government could promise tax cuts without presenting a budget. How can the government make announcements without tabling a budget? At a debate during the election campaign, our leader, the member for Beloeil—Chambly, talked about a Harry Potter budget. The Liberals are making up numbers and making announcements without presenting a budget, even though they are holding themselves up as economic experts who will be able to rein in government spending and balance all the budgets.
They do not sound serious. This is a Harry Potter budget. We need to get the figures quickly so we can come up with a game plan.
