Sandra Cobena Conservative
“The government is hiding billions of dollars of debt in other accounts to make their budget look better. I want to know who is going to pay for all this debt and how.”
“Mr. Speaker, the Liberals are masters of illusion. They say, “Look over here at the operating budget, but do not look over there, where we are taking on unprecedented levels of debt.” They say, “Look at the operating budget, but do not look over here, where we are hiding billions of dollars in Crown corporations.” They say, “Keep looking over here at the operating budget, not at the billions of dollars being relabelled into capital investments.” Who is going to pay for all this debt and how?”
