Jacques Gourde Conservative
“The government's deficit will be more than $330 billion over the next five years. The Alto rail project will cost another $150 billion. Is the $150 billion for the rail project included in that deficit number, or is it on top of it?”
“Mr. Speaker, the Parliamentary Budget Officer’s latest report revealed that the deficits over the next five years will total more than $330 billion. In addition, the Alto project represents another $150 billion. The Liberal government is digging itself deeper and deeper into a bottomless pit of debt. Can the Liberals confirm whether or not the $150 billion for the Alto project is included in the $330-billion deficit?”
