Marianne Dandurand Liberal
“Our accounting separates day-to-day spending from long-term investments. This lets us cut daily costs and put that money into projects that grow the economy.”
“Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for bringing us back to the speech by our colleague from Mirabel. I always find the member for Mirabel very creative in his speeches. His references always make me smile, but we certainly do not always agree on certain matters, including the way we do accounting. Quite frankly, what we have managed to do is separate operating expenditures from capital expenditures to get a clear picture of our operating costs, reduce them as much as possible and free up those funds to invest in productive initiatives that will strengthen the Canadian economy. If that is what some call creativity, then I would call it very constructive creativity, because the results are positive.”
