Mr. Speaker, Canadians have voiced very clearly who they think should be running and leading our economy.
Listening to the member opposite, we would not think we just had an election on April 28 and a throne speech last week. The budget will come in due time. Our Prime Minister is regarded, I would argue, as one of the top economic minds in Canada.
We do have a plan. His Majesty said, during the Speech from the Throne, “In all of its actions, the Government will be guided by a new fiscal discipline: spend less so Canadians can invest more.” He also said we “will balance its operating budget over the next three years by cutting waste, capping the public service, ending duplication, and deploying technology to improve public sector productivity.”
We will deliver the details of our plan in the fall via a detailed, comprehensive, effective, ambitious and prudent federal budget.
