Thank goodness for the previous government that gave this government the fiscal position that it inherited.
The Parliamentary Budget Officer and private sector economists seem to be able to do their jobs and provide economic updates. Why will this government not do so?

Madame Chair, again I would like to say that we are bringing forward different programs to support families, to support businesses, to make sure that we protect jobs. With our strong fiscal position, we are ready and able to respond to the challenge posed by COVID-19. We will continue to make sure that we monitor and continue to invest in Canadians during this pandemic.

Minister Fortier, you didn't even try to answer that question. I asked you about the Parliamentary Budget Officer. Why will Minister Fortier not answer the question?
The question was this: Why will this government not provide an economic update? The PBO is able to do their job. Economists in the private sector can do their jobs. Why will this government not provide an economic update?

Madame Chair, I will speak through you to the honourable member. We know that Canada's economy is in a period of extraordinary uncertainty, and that's why we will continue to be open and transparent and provide the necessary information on how much spending we've done to support Canadians. Once it is possible to provide a clear economic projection, we will provide an update.

Madam Chair, the government has no control over its expenditures and no idea of the result.
I would like to ask the Minister one question. When will the economic update be given?

Once again, we have been very clear about that. In these extraordinary times, the government continues to be open and transparent. As soon as it is possible to provide an economic update—

Madam Chair, I cannot but applaud Minister Fortier's sense of humour. It makes no sense. She claims that the government has been clear about this, but it is anything but clear.
Why will the Government of Quebec be able to provide an economic update next week, but not Ottawa?

Let me repeat again: we have presented, in a clear and transparent way, the investments that we have made in Canadians. As soon as it is possible to provide clear projections, we—

Here is what we have learned today: we have no idea about the deficit, no idea about the expenditures that have been made and no idea about when the economic update will be tabled.
Does Canada have anyone in charge at the moment?

Once again, I am very proud to say that we have supported Canadians through this crisis and we will continue to do so.
Our priorities are their health and their ability to pay their bills at the end of the month. We will continue to—

Mr. Chair, can the Prime Minister tell us whether we will have an economic update by the end of June?

Mr. Chair, I would like to thank the hon. member for his question.
It is of course very important to be transparent. When the situation is stable, we will have—

Mr. Chair, most of the provinces in Canada are working on tabling economic updates by the end of June. Why is the Liberal government unable to do so as well?

I understand the importance of transparency and that is why we are trying every day to explain our investments to Canadians and to continue to be transparent with them.

The Liberal government announced hundreds of billions of dollars in new spending during the pandemic, but it still refuses to provide an economic update in order to be transparent with Canadians.
In times of crisis, monitoring the situation is more important than ever. I repeat my question: why does this government not want to table an economic update by the end of June, when the provinces are doing so?
