Business of Supply   years later. Now fast forward through the Conservative government, and things are very different. We do not have surpluses; we are back in the same battle we had before with a $56 billion deficit. It is shameful. There was a deficit then, but not the record $56 billion deficit we

Business of Supply   Canadians want? Are they something Canadians need? Canada cannot afford to give big corporations $6 billion in tax cuts because of a record $56 billion deficit caused by the Conservatives. I believe in competitive corporate tax rates.

Again, my colleague refuses to recognize the urgency and the crisis that we faced when the international economic monetary crisis loomed and where we did spend. It is quite true that we ran up a deficit to $56 billion at its height, but that was in the interests

Finance committee  , a deficit of $56 billion. You also talked about the importance of getting back to a balanced budget position, so this is a very confusing message, frankly. To use “austerity” when we're increasing by 5.4% to 5.8% the major transfers from the federal government to persons and provinces

Economic Action Plan 2013 Act, No. 2   while fostering a sound economic environment. When Canada's economic action plan was initially introduced in 2009, we made it clear that deficits were not here to stay and neither was the stimulus.
