François-Philippe Champagne, Minister of Finance and National Revenue
“We are open to reviewing government programs. We have already saved $60 billion across departments. Canadians are watching their spending, and the government must do the same by using better technology and cutting costs.”
“Mr. Speaker, we are always willing to review the various programs currently in place. My colleague should be reassured by the fact that we found $60 billion in savings across various federal government departments. We understand that Quebeckers and Canadians have been tightening their belts for some time now, and we need to do the same in the federal government. We are always willing to find a way, to find savings within the government, to do more with technology and to improve our processes. Canadians know that we will always be there to help them.”
