Mr. Speaker, the government has been very good at spending enormous amounts of money and driving our debt through the roof. Fiscal mismanagement is a hallmark of the government.
In the Speech from the Throne, there was talk of a 2% increase in spending, yet at the same time legislation was introduced that actually increased spending by 8%. What are the member's thoughts on that, and what is her confidence that the government will have any hope of getting government spending under control?
