Mr. Speaker, the people of Saint-Maurice—Champlain expect parliamentarians to draft a budget before spending the money. It is as though the Prime Minister followed Trudeau's example when it comes to spending and thought, “Just watch me”. What is next? Is he going to show up here wearing Adidas running shoes? The Prime Minister is proving that this is the fourth edition of the same Liberal government. The Liberals would still have us believe that they can continue to spend while reducing revenues, without increasing the debt or cutting transfers to the provinces.
They need to show us in a budget how they plan to do that. Is transparency too much to ask?
