Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for her speech, which was particularly sensitive to the reality facing our families.
However, I wonder if she could talk about this government's position. On the one hand, spending is clearly increasing. On the other hand, revenues are being reduced because taxes are being cut. Spending is going up and revenues are going down. Back in December, in a disastrous situation during which the finance minister resigned, a $50-billion deficit had already been announced for the previous fiscal year. Last year, the deficit was $61.9 billion.
Could my colleague estimate how much the deficit would be if the government were to table a budget? I would estimate it at about $75 billion.
