Sadly, it is historic in theory only, since we have seen just $9.3 billion of the $187 billion announced a few years ago.Between 2010 and 2015, the Conservative government not only released the $80 billion from our economic action plan, but we also spent it in real time. Many observers even talked about how effective the plan was, since the money was getting out. I just wanted to set the record straight.I would also like to ask my hon. colleague when the government plans to balance the budget. He did not mention that in his speech. One of the Liberal government's key promises in 2015 was to balance the budget by 2020. Promises must be kept if we want to reduce cynicism among Canadians instead of fuelling it. This is important to our democracy, and yet, it is clear that the government has shelved this promise and that it has absolutely no intention of keeping it.When will the government balance the budget?Balanced budgetBudget 2018 (February 27, 2018)C-86, A second Act to implement certain provisions of the budget tabled in Parliament on February 27, 2018 and other measuresGovernment billsGovernment expendituresInfrastructureSecond readingJoëlLightboundLouis-HébertJoëlLightboundLouis-HébertINTERVENTIONParliament and SessionOrder of BusinessDiscussed TopicProcedural TermPerson SpeakingProvince / TerritoryCaucusSearchResults per pageOrder byTarget search languageSide by SideMaximum returned rowsPagePUBLICATION TYPE
