“The Prime Minister and the finance minister lowered this year's deficit by 11 billion dollars. Our spending is careful and responsible, and Canadians can trust our plan.”
“Madam Chair, I am pleased to tell everyone in Quebec City who is listening that this Minister of Finance, together with the Prime Minister, has managed to reduce the deficit by $11 billion for the current year. I think people understand that we have adopted a fiscal stance that is reasonable, disciplined and as rigorous as the current situation demands. This should give confidence to all Canadians, including, of course, the people of Quebec City.”
