“Mr. Chair, I asked the question in French. Perhaps the minister should get his answer translated more quickly. I would prefer to get an answer in French. The people listening to us would prefer to hear answers in the same language the question was asked in. It was just mentioned that the government ran up the biggest deficit in Canadian history. Not only that, but the government will continue to run bigger deficits for the next five years. The Liberals’ first instinct was to charge $25 billion to Canadians’ credit card to create a sovereign debt fund. Why are they trying to get even more money when they have spent more than any other government in the history of our country?”
