“Mr. Speaker, Canadians can see that the Prime Minister is using creative accounting to manage the country’s finances. He is dividing a monumental deficit across three different credit cards: one for current expenditures, another misleadingly labelled “investments”, and a third hidden within Crown corporations. Stephen Harper and Justin Trudeau never hesitated to appear before parliamentary committees. Will the Prime Minister support the Conservative motion and come explain his creative accounting practices before the Standing Committee on Finance?”
