Gérard Deltell Conservative
“The parliamentary secretary used to balance the budget in Quebec, but now his government has a 67-billion-dollar deficit. The Liberals spend money on programs that do not work, and over two million Canadians use food banks. How can he be proud of his government's bad record?”
“Madam Speaker, the parliamentary secretary knows very well that I have a great deal of respect for him because, when he was a member of the provincial government, he ran a zero deficit. However, he is currently a member of a government that has run up a $67‑billion deficit. The problem is that these Liberals have launched all kinds of programs over the past 10 years, all with zero results. Some 2.2 million Canadians are going to food banks. Is the parliamentary secretary proud of how poorly his colleagues are handling things, considering how well he managed Quebec’s affairs?”
