Mr. Speaker, the Liberal Prime Minister promised to cap government spending, but he is doubling the deficit. This is another broken promise, another Liberal bait and switch.
Yesterday, the Parliamentary Budget Officer issued a scathing indictment of the latest Liberal Prime Minister's first six months in office. “The deficit will absolutely be higher”, he said. “I don't know that the government currently has fiscal anchors”, he said. He said there is no clarity, no structure.
Even the independent Parliamentary Budget Officer does not know these things. Can anyone in this government tell us how far into the Liberal red the latest Prime Minister's deficit will go?
