Mr.Chair, the minister's answer is not fluid at all. But the question is really simple: how much is Canada's deficit?
Mr.Chair, it is important to be transparent with our investments. We look at the investments and the figures every day.
Mr.Chair, the Minister of Finance may not know what the deficit is, but one great Canadian does know. And he knows that he knows. Could the Minister of Finance be very clear, very fluid and, above all, very transparent with Canadians? What is Canada's deficit?
Mr.Chair, I want to be very clear with Canadians: our economic situation is very difficult. The situation is fluid. We are making investments to ensure that our economy will be strong in the future.
