My Liberal colleagues and I are calling on the Harper Conservatives to keep Canada’s books balanced following a new report from a major credit rating agency which predicts Canada is on the brink of going into deficit for the first time in more than a decade.
Finance minister Jim Flaherty has said he will make cuts in order to avoid running a deficit. And since one of Canada’s leading rating agencies has just predicted he will be in deficit as early as next year, it’s time for him to lay his cards on the table.
